Abstract

Continued synthesis of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b occurs in Tradescantia albiflora Kunth on transfer to darkness. This synthesis continues for several days and may result in a doubling of chlorophyll content per leaf. It is accompanied by continued cell division and development of normal chloroplast ultrastructure, including stacked thylakoids.
