Abstract
We studied the curves of delayed luminescence induction in leaves of pea pl ants with mutations affecting the starch branching enzyme (r locus) and ADP G pyrophosphorylase (rb locus). In mutated pants, a 75 % reduction of starc h content in seeds was observed. The half-decay time of delayed luminescenc e intensity during induction for double mutants was shown to be longer than for wild type plants.
