Abstract

Remarkable progress has been done in recent years in understanding of general features of structural and functional organization of the primary reactions of photosynthesis in the chloroplast /1/. Many of the features of such a typical chloroplast can however dramatically be affected by environmental factors during plant growth. The most known are changes in photosynthetic apparatus during adaptation to light conditions /2, 3/. Much less is known about changes in the organization of primary photosynthetic reactions induced by other factors.
