Once metals have been transported to their target tissue, they need to be distributed within the subcellular compartments where they are required, and need to be safely stored when they are in excess. Nearly 90% of Fe in plants is located in the chloroplasts, where it is required in the electron transfer chain, and in the synthesis of chlorophylls, haem, and Fe—S clusters. Fe, Cu, and Zn are also required in chloroplasts as cofactors for superoxide dismutases to protect against damage by reactive oxygen species during chloroplast development, and Cu is also required in other enzymes including the essential Cu protein plastocyanin. Pathways of intracellular metal transport in plant cells are illustrated in Fig. 8.10. Transport into the chloroplast is best characterised for Cu,...

Hjy Chloroplasts contain their own DNA and the machinery for replicat-I ing and expressing it. However, chloroplasts are not autonomous they also contain many proteins encoded by nuclear DNA. How did the intriguing relation between the cell and its chloroplasts develop We now believe that, in a manner analogous to the evolution of mitochondria (p. 504), chloroplasts are the result of endosymbiotic events in which a photosynthetic...

Chloroplast development is coupled to leaf mesophyll cell development and is controlled, in part, by light (rev. 1, 2, 3). The extent of light control over chloroplast development varies considerably between plant species and leaf type. However, a common sequence of events can be discerned in most plants which leads from undifferentiated proplastids to photosynthetically active chloroplasts (1). This sequence of events has been studied extensively in monocots such as barley because of the spatial separation of stages in chloroplast development in these plants (4-7). Barley leaf cells are produced primarily by a meristematic zone located in the leaf base. These undifferentiated dividing cells contain 10 to 15 proplastids (5, 7). Proplastids accumulate 120 to 150 copies of plastid DNA but exhibit low overall transcription activity (7). Once cells in the leaf base stop dividing they are displaced toward the leaf apex due to cell enlargement and continued formation of cells in the leaf base. During the phase of cell...

Mutants which identify nuclear-encoded functions essential to chloroplast development are valuable resources. Transposon mutagenesis using the Mutator system may provide access to some of the nuclear loci which are essential to chloroplast development and, in so doing, reveal patterns of interaction between the nucleus and organelle in eukaryotic systems. The work presented here lays a foundation for the isolation of nuclear loci essential to the assembly of the major components of the photosynthetic apparatus associated with the chloroplast thylakoid membrane.
