| Method |
(Primary source): The numbers of refractile and non-refractile- plastids
in the preparations were determined using a hemacytometer
on a phase contrast microscope. |
| Comments |
"The value for
mature wheat chloroplasts (310-320 genome copies/chloroplast, BNID 107107)
compares with a figure for pea chloroplasts of 224±80 genome
copies/plastid (primary source)...The published figures in primary source are too low by a factor of 16, as
a result of an error in the use of the hemocytometer (J. Bennett, personal
communication)." |
