Phytochrome in photosynthetically competent plants characterization by monoclonal antibodies. Progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6260723
Detailed information concerning the physicochemical properties of phytochrome is sought, but since only trace quantities are present in plant tissues, it is extremely labile to modification in crude plant extracts, efficient and sensitive methods for its purification and characterization will be required. Towards this end immune serums directed towards oat phytochrome have been prepared. Unfortunately the phytochrome in green oats is immunochemically distinct from phytochrome in etiolated oats. Consequently, effort has been directed at preparation of monoclonal antibodies for green-oat phytochrome.
