Photosynthesis by isolated chloroplasts. Inhibition by dl-glyceraldehyde of carbon dioxide assimilation

D M Stokes 1,*, D A Walker 1
PMCID: PMC1174003  PMID: 4643699

Abstract

Photosynthetic carbon assimilation and associated CO2-dependent O2 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 apparently blocks the conversion of triose phosphate into ribulose 1,5-diphosphate.
