RESUMO

Photoreduction of NADP from water in agranal chloroplasts isolated from the leaf bundle sheath cells of Zea mays (var. DS 606A) or Sorghum bicolor (var. Texas 610) was dependent upon addition of plastocyanin as well as ferredoxin. Activity was further increased by the addition of ferredoxin NADP-reductase. Saturation for plastocyanin was reached at about 6 micromolar. In contrast, grana-containing chloroplasts isolated from leaf mesophyll cells of these plants or from pea (Pisum sativum L.) leaves did not require either plastocyanin or ferredoxin NADP-reductase for NADP photoreduction from water, although with some preparations plastocyanin stimulated the activity.
