Hi,

I am currently working on Arabidopsis, screening some mutants for salt stress-related changes in chloroplast and chlorophyll content.

I was wondering what are the possible assays to assess the chloroplast stability?

I measured changes in the chlorophyll and carotenoids, and now I would like to know whether those are affected by increased chloroplast degradation. Or other organelle turnover. Is there a quantitative assay to measure the chloroplast turn-over in vivo? My first Google-search turned out disappointing.
