Chloroplast degeneration and its inhibition by kinetin in detached leaves of Cichorium intybus L.

In the chicory (Cichorium intybus L. var. sativum cv. Polanowicka) leaves two types of chloroplasts are present differing by their degree of osmiophility of the thylakoid inside. This type of differentiation of chloroplasts has so far been found only in several plant species. The process of chloropl...
