Abstract
This paper reports results of 'simultaneous' measurements of chloroplast st reaming and delayed luminescence of Acetabularia cells. We show that freezi ng in liquid nitrogen or incubation in chloroform affects significantly and rapidly both the organelle motility and delayed luminescence decay. Result s suggest the idea that delayed luminescence is related to the integrity of the dynamic chloroplast organization. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All r ights reserved.
