- 研究成果概要
- It is generally assumed that photosynthesis takes place in green leaves. The photosynthetic characteristics of the surface of the fruits, however, was not so much different from that of the leaves. On the other hand, photosynthesis of the seed coats of the broad been surrounded by pods seems to be rather peculiar. In this study, such peculiarity was examined to understand the physiological significance of photosynthesis in seed coats. The isolation of thylakoid membranes from the seed coats was difficult, but still possible. Measurements of oxygen evolution and chlorophyll fluorescence emission spectra revealed that the observed difference of photosynthesis in seed coats was due to the difference of intrinsic characteristics of photosynthesis in thylakoid membranes.
