Abstract
In order to gain information on the relation between structure, composition, and function of chloroplasts, an important approach is to undertake studies on the development of this organeile. The developmental approach can be divided into two lines of study: (1) By the use of wild-type plants in greening systems, where the sequential developmental steps can be resolved by means of synchronously occurring development of plastids during their light-induced development from etioplasts or plastids that have been dedifferentiated during a preceding growth in darkness. (2) By the use of mutants with lesions blocking chloroplast development at particular steps. A most powerful analytical system is obtained when the greening approach is combined by the use of mutants and the results subsequently compared with results from studies of the wild type.
