| dc.description.abstract | I am investigating the effects of light on the accumulation of mRNA for the atpF and rbcL chloroplast genes. Light exposure affects the expression of some plant genes. Chloroplasts are genetically semi-autonomous when compared with the rest of the cell and have their own regulatory mechanisms. Using Northern blot analysis we examined the steady state levels of transcripts of atpF and rbcL. We determined that the levels of rbcL-hybridizing transcripts were photoregulated, as has been reported (2). We have not yet gotten good results for the atpF gene transcripts. | en |
