| Abstract | We studied the development of chloroplasts from etioplasts in the cotyledonary leaves of 4-d-old dark-grown cucumber (Cucumis sativus) seedlings after irradiation (20 μmol m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$). Upon irradiation, the triggering of chlorophyll (Chl) synthesis and accumulation showed a relatively short lag phase. The irradiation of etiolated seedlings initiated the synthesis of apoproteins of pigment-protein complexes. While Chl-protein 2 (CP2) was detected at 6 h after irradiation, CP1 only after 29 h. The appearance and accumulation of some of the apoproteins were monitored by Western-blotting. LHC2 apoprotein was detected after a 6 h-irradiation. The amounts of D1 protein of photosystem (PS) 2 and PsaA/B protein of PS1 were quantitated by ELISA. Further, the thylakoid membrane function during this time period in terms of PS1- and PS2-mediated electron transfer activity and intersystem electron pool size were analyzed. While PS1 activity was detected after 4 h, PS2-mediated O$_{2}$ evolution was detected only after a 17 h-irradiation. F$_{v}$/F$_{m}$ value of Chl a fluorescence measurements indicated that the photochemical efficiency of these leaves reached its maximum after 29 h of irradiation. The intersystem pool size of cotyledonary leaves was equivalent to that of the control cotyledonary leaves grown for 25 h under continuous irradiation. Thus etioplasts develop into fully functional chloroplasts after approximately 25 h when 4 d-dark grown cucumber seedlings are continuously moderately irradiated. The development of photosynthetic electron transport chain seems to be limited in time at the level of PS2, possibly at the donor side. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
