to photosynthesize during prolonged irradiation. At the same time, profound morphological and chemical changes occur in the leaf plastids (10). Among these are qualitative and quantitative changes in protein content. Percent protein contained in the plastid fraction of Cichorium (6) and protein content per plastid of Phaseolus (27) increases on prolonged irradiation of etiolated leaves. Increases also occur in TPN glyceraldehyde-3-P dehydrogenase (3, 11), PPNR4, transhydrogenase (20), ribulose-1,5-di P carboxylase (12), and alkaline fructose-1,6-diphosphatase (33). In contrast, synthesis of cytoplasmic DPN glyceraldehyde-3-P dehydrogenase is not dependent on light
