인삼엽의 greening과정중 엽록체발달(葉綠體發達), $CO_2$ 고정능(固定能), 초기(初期) 광합성(光合成) 중간대사산물(中間代謝産物), catalase와 glycolate oxidase 활성등을 조사(調査)하였고, 이러한 결과(結果)들은 CP-complex의 생성(生成)과 연관시켜 논의(論議)하였다. 엽록체발달양상(葉綠體發達樣相)은 타식물(他植物)과 같았으나 그 과정(過程)이 비교적 느렸고, 따라서 $CO_2$고정능(固定能)도 느렸다. 12시간 이상(以上) 빛을 조사(照射)하여야 엽록소양(量)이 증가하였다. 이러한 결과(結果)는 엽록체발달(葉綠體發達)에 따라 thylakoid막(膜)에서 CP-cmplex의 생성(生成)의 증가와 일치하였다. $CO_2$고정능(固定能)은 다른 양지식물(陽地植物)에 비하여 훨씬 낮았으며, 초기(初期) 광합성(光合成) 중간대사산물(中間代謝産物)의 변이(變異)와 glycolate oxidase 및 catalase 등의 활성(活性)으로 보아 인삼은 $C_3$-plant임을 추정할 수 있었다.
Development of chloroplast, ability of $CO_2$-fixation, photosynthetic early intermediates and activities of catalase and glycolate oxidase were observed during greening process. Such results were discussed with the formation of CP-complex. The phenomenon of chloroplast development was similar to other plants, but the rate of process was relatively slow, and ability of $CO_2$-fixation was slow accordingly. The increase in chlorophyll was observed after more than 12 hours illumination. Such results were paralleled with the formation of CP-complex in thylakoid membrane. Considering the low ability of $CO_2$-fixation compared with that of other sun-plants, different photosynthetic intermediates at early period, and activities of both glycolate oxidase and catalase, ginseng is more likely to be $C_3$-plant.
