Pm. Swamy et al., RETARDATION OF DARK INDUCED IN-VITRO ALTERATIONS IN PHOTOSYSTEM-2 ORGANIZATION OF COWPEA LEAF DISCS BY COMBINATION OF CA2+ AND BENZYLADENINE, Biologia plantarum, 37(3), 1995, pp. 457-460
Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) leaf discs incubated in the dark in solu
tions with CaCl2 and benzyladenine (BA) maintained higher concentratio
n of chlorophylls and proteins and higher activity of photosystem 2 (P
S2) than controls. The effect of CaCl2 and BA in combination was addit
ive.
