The plastocyanin content of etiolated bean leaves (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was measured, and the development of the protein in response to light was followed. Measurements were made by quantitative extraction of plastocyanin and a sensitive assay with an O(2) electrode. The electron-paramagnetic-resonance (e.p.r.) signal of oxidized plastocyanin was used as an independent check on the validity of the assay method, and on the thoroughness of extraction. After an initial lag period, the amount of plastocyanin in greening bean leaves increased to reach a maximum after 50h illumination. The chlorophyll/plastocyanin ratio reached a maximum value of 200 irrespective of the light intensity at which greening was carried out, suggesting that the synthesis of the two components is co-ordinated. Experiments involving treatment of etiolated seedlings with brief periods of light of different spectral composition indicated that phytochrome is involved in plastocyanin synthesis. The lack of inhibition of plastocyanin synthesis by specific inhibitors of chloroplast protein synthesis suggests that the protein is synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes. The data are discussed in relation to the development of ferredoxin in greening bean leaves.
