Effect of Flooding on Starch Accumulation in Chloroplasts of Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

R L Wample et al. Plant Physiol. 1983 Sep.

Abstract

Chloroplasts in leaves of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. cv hybrid 894) whose roots were flooded for 4 days showed an increase in the level of starch in chloroplasts when examined with the electron microscope. Starch determination showed significantly higher levels in leaves of flooded plants. Chloroplast and mitochondrial structure seemed otherwise normal.
