| 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 |
"Whereas wild-type plants have 80 to 120 chloroplasts
per mesophyll cell, the accumulation and regulation of
chloroplast (arc) mutants used in this study have between
one and about 30 chloroplasts per mesophyll
cell (Table III)." |
