Summary

The regeneration of plastids ofSpirodela oligorrhiza grown on a glucose-containing nutrient was investigated. Yellow leaflets transferred to a fresh nutrient turn green again and the lamellar system of their plastids regenerates within 2 days, whether or not exogenous glucose is present in the medium. Green leaflets of the same plant transferred weekly to a fresh nutrient containing glucose keep their green coloration over a period of at least 32 days. It is concluded that in glucose-stimulated plants changes of color and of chloroplast ultrastructure are exclusively induced by a nitrogen deficiency and not by the exogenous glucose itself.
