We studied the curves of delayed luminescence induction in leaves of pea plants with mutations affecting the starch branching enzyme (r locus) and ADPG pyrophosphorylase (rb locus). In mutated pants, a 75% reduction of starch content in seeds was observed. The half-decay time of delayed luminescence intensity during induction for double mutants was shown to be longer than for wild type plants.
