Abstract: 4 figures. ["Incubation of Quercus rotundifolia branches in culture media containing lichen substances isolated from Evernia prunastri thallus produces inhibition of Hill reaction in chloroplasts isolated from leaves of the banches. Incubation with lichen substances diminishes the amount of chloroplastic manganese through chelation process."]
