Sucrose as a product of photosynthesis in isolated spinach chloroplasts.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sucrose has been detected as a seasonal photosynthetic product in spinach chloroplast preparations. Sucrose when present accounted for up to 30% of the CO(2) fixed. Experiments in which sucrose was formed have been compared with experiments in which it was not formed, and a possible control mechanism for sucrose synthesis is discussed.

Reversible swelling and contraction of isolated spinach chloroplasts.
By use of a micro technique for producing extracts of spinach mesophyll cells, chloroplasts were isolated in a state wherein they displayed microscopically visible, reversible osmotic properties. Swollen spherical chloroplasts treated with hypertonic sucrose or mannitol media, but not NaCl, could be shrunken to a state resembling their disk appearance in living cells. Reversible osmotic behavio...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic intermediates, the warburg effect, and glycolate synthesis in isolated spinach chloroplasts.
Increasing levels of CO(2) have been shown to stimulate the rate of photosynthesis, eliminate the oxygen inhibition of photosynthesis (Warburg effect), and decrease glycolate formation in isolated spinach chloroplasts. Ribose 5-phosphate and fructose 1,6-diphosphate at concentrations of 5 to 10 mum also stimulate the rate of plastid photosynthesis and eliminate the Warburg effect. In contrast t...
متن کاملInhibition of photosynthesis by oxygen in isolated spinach chloroplasts.
The inhibition of photosynthetic CO(2) fixation by O(2), commonly referred to as the Warburg effect, was examined in isolated intact spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts. The major characteristics of this effect in isolated chloroplasts are rapid reversibility when O(2) is replaced by N(2), an increased inhibition by O(2) at low concentrations of CO(2) and a decreased effect of O(2) with in...
متن کاملTransport of Metabolites across Isolated Envelope Membranes of Spinach Chloroplasts.
Isolated envelope membranes of spinach chloroplasts (Spinacia oleracea L. var. Viroflay) exhibited selective permeability. Metabolites such as 3-phosphoglycerate, bicarbonate, glyoxylate, and acetate were transported rapidly; 6-phosphogluconate, glycolate, glycine, l-malate, and succinate were intermediate; whereas glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 1,6-diphosphate, and sucrose were hardly transport...
متن کاملIsolation and bicarbonate transport of chloroplast envelope membranes from species of differing net photosynthetic efficiency.
A three-phase discontinuous sucrose gradient yielded two fractions of chloroplast envelope membranes from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), and maize (Zea mays L., mesophyll and undifferentiated chloroplasts). These species were selected to represent plants with fast photorespiration and slow net photosynthesis, fast photorespiration yet fast net photosynthesis, ...
