Abstract

In the course of chloroplast and leaf development the formation and degradation of photosynthetic apparatus is reflected in changes in the amounts of individual pigment-protein complexes that have various functions in the photochemistry of photosynthesis. The ontogenic differences in composition of the set of pigment-protein complexes are reflected in spectral properties of chloroplasts and leaves. Changes in shapes of fluorescence emission and excitation spectra, patterns of induction fluorescence and fluorescence polarization occurring during leaf development are reviewed.
