Abstract
In six rice cultivars the relative amounts of 55, 26-28 and 15 kDa pol ypeptides were mostly lower in plants grown for 15 d under low irradia nce than in plants grown under saturating irradiance. This decline in the polypeptides, especially in those related to light-harvesting chlo rophyll proteins, was accompanied with a decrease in the whole chain e lectron transport and the photosystem 2 activity.
