Blue Light-Induced Intracellular Movements

  • Conference paper
The Blue Light Syndrome

Part of the book series: Proceedings in Life Sciences ((LIFE SCIENCES))

Abstract

In the group of intracellular movement phenomena induced by light the rearrangements of chloroplasts are among the most spectacular. Depending on the intensity and direction of light, the arrangement of chloroplasts — cell organelles having very distinct light absorption — can be modified in the space of time from 20 min to 2 h, which evokes marked changes in the microscopic appearance of the cell and measurable differences in light absorption by the tissues.
