| Method |
"Most observations and measurements of starch
granules in leaves have been made on a transmission
electron microscope (TEM) or light microscope images
of sections through mesophyll cells." And flow cytometry |
| Comments |
"[Researchers] observed that chloroplasts in
immature leaves, early in the expansion phase, contained
on average only 1.5 times more starch granules
than the chloroplasts of mature leaves." |
