Dark-grown cucumber seedlings were exposed to intermittent light (2 min light and 98 min dark) and then cotyledons were incubated with 50 mM CaCl 2 in the dark. Chlorophyll (Chl) a was selectively accumulated under intermittent light and Chl b was accumulated during the subsequent dark incubation with CaCl 2. The change in chlorophyll-protein complexes during Chl b accumulation induced by CaCl 2 in the dark was investigated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Chlorophyll-protein complex I and free chlorophyll were major chlorophyll-containing bands of the cotyledons intermittently illuminated 10 times. When these cotyledons were incubated with CaCl 2 in the dark, the light-harvesting Chl a b-protein complex was formed. When the number of intermittent illumination periods was extended to 55, small amounts of Chl b and light-harvesting Chl a b-protein complex were recognized at the end of intermittent light treatment, and these two pigments were further increased during the subsequent incubation of the cotyledons with CaCl 2 in the dark compared to water controls.
