...Shingo Takagi SUMMARY In photosynthesizing plant cells, chloroplasts change their arrangements and/or positions in response to light irradiation. These photo-orientation movements of chloroplasts are believed to play important roles in optimizing the photosynthetic activity of plant cells. We have...

...Sidney K. Pierce; Rachel W. Biron; Mary E. Rumpho ABSTRACT Endosymbiotic chloroplasts within the cells of the ascoglossan slug Elysia chlorotica synthesize a variety of proteins including the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate-carboxylase oxygenase (RuBisCO) and the photosystem II protein...

...Wolfgang Junge; Siegfried Engelbrecht; Cord Griwatz; Georg Groth ABSTRACT This article reviews proton intake, charge transfer and proton release by F-ATPases, based in part on flash spectrophotometric studies on the chloroplast ATPase in thylakoid membranes, CF 1 F 0 . The synthesis-coupled...
