RESUMO

we have compared chloroplast lamellae isolated from a chlorophyll-b-less mutant and wild type barley (Hordeum vulgare). The results demonstrate that: (a) one of the two major polypeptides comprising the lightharvesting complex (LHC) is present in the chlorophyll-b-less mutant; (b) higher cation concentrations are required to maintain grana stacks in the mutant; and (c) cation effects on excitation energy distribution are present in the chlorophyll-b-less mutant but are reduced in amount and are dependent on higher concentrations of cations.
