The purpose of this study was to completely characterize the protein moiety in the caroteno complex in C. poinsettae, determine if the distribution and level of protein in the pigment-protein complex in membranes of the wild type and in a colorless mutant could account for the differences in the stability of the membrane, and to determine if this protein is common to other pigmented and non-pigmented organisms. Also, electron microscopy of cell membranes of C. poinsettiae which had been exposed to gold-labelled antibody against the protein moitey of the pigment-protein complex, demonstrating that the protein is randomly distributed in the membranes of both wild type and colorless mutant.
