Britain Photosynthetic Control by Isolated Pea Chloroplasts
نویسنده
چکیده
Isolated pea chloroplasts undergo both cyclic and non-cyclic electron flow. Both processes are coupled to photophosphorylation. During non-cyclic flow the rate of oxygen production showed ADP-governed 'photosynthetic control' analogous to respiratory control of isolated mitochondria. Measurements ofADP/O and photosynthetic control ratios yielded values of 1-1-3 and 2-5-7 respectively. 'Photosynthetic control' was shown to be dependent on the intactness of the chloroplasts.

Photosynthesis by isolated chloroplasts. Inhibition by DL-glyceraldehyde of carbon dioxide assimilation.
Photosynthetic carbon assimilation and associated CO(2)-dependent O(2) evolution by chloroplasts isolated from pea shoots and spinach leaves is almost completely inhibited by 10mm-dl-glyceraldehyde. The inhibitor is without appreciable effect on photosynthetic electron transport, photophosphorylation, the carboxylation of ribulose 1,5-diphosphate or the reduction of 3-phosphoglycerate, but appa...
متن کاملEffects of Arsenite, Sulfite, and Sulfate on Photosynthetic Carbon Metabolism in Isolated Pea (Pisum sativum L., cv Little Marvel) Chloroplasts.
Photosynthetic CO(2)-fixation in isolated pea (Pisum sativum L., cv Little Marvel) chloroplasts during induction is markedly inhibited by 0.4 millimolar sulfite. Sulfate at the same concentration has almost no effect. The (14)CO(2)-fixation pattern indicates that the primary effect of sulfite is inhibition of the reaction catalyzed by ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase and a stimulation of expor...
متن کاملEffect of light quality on the organization of photosynthetic electron transport chain of pea seedlings.
The activity of NADP and O(2) photoreduction by water is essentially higher in chloroplasts isolated from pea seedlings (Pisum sativum L.) grown under blue light as compared with that from plants grown under red light. In contrast, the photoreduction of NADP and O(2) with photosystem I only is practically the same or even lower in chloroplasts isolated from plants grown under blue light. The ad...

Preprotein translocation across the outer and inner envelope membranes of chloroplasts is an energy-dependent process requiring ATP hydrolysis. Several precursor proteins analyzed so far have been found to be imported into isolated chloroplasts equally well in the dark in the presence of ATP as in the light where ATP is supplied by photophosphorylation in the chloroplasts themselves. We demonst...
