[Ultrastructure and pigment composition of Sagittaria sagittifolia L. leaves]
Abstract:
Comparative analysis of the cellular ultrastructure and pigment content of both submerged and above-water Sagittaria sagittifolia leaves with transmission electron microscopic and biochemical methods were realized. Essential distinctions of S. sagittifolia ultrastructure of photosynthesizing cells in submerged leaves were revealed during the comparison with those in mesophyll cells of above-water leaves. The changes of chloroplast ultrastructure in submerged leaves are examined as the adaptative signs of photosynthesizing cells under influence of altered environment.
