Table II. Chloroplast distribution and visible surface area.
Numbers of individual P-CP and C-CP were determined microscopically as described in Figure 6. Determination of the visible surface area per chloroplast was performed by outlining the chloroplast areas manually with the aid of ImageJ software. Values are averages of 15 independent counts ± se.
| Parameter | P-CP | C-CP | C-CP/P-CP | P-CP + C-CP |
| No. of chloroplasts per cell | 62± 9.1 | 355± 25.4 | 5.7± 0.93 | 417 ± 26.98a |
| Visible surface area per chloroplast (103 pixels) | 6.51± 0.41 | 3.27± 0.09 | 0.5± 0.034 | — |
