Comparative kinetics of greening in etiolated intact and excized wheat leaves

Summary Differential characteristics of lag phase of chlorophyll accumulation during greening of etiolated intact and excized wheat leaves are discussed. Relatively, a prolonged lag phase in case of excized leaves is attributed to the lack of proper hormonal level in the leaves after excision.Acknowledgment. We thank Prof. M. C.
