Sucrose has been detected as a seasonal photosynthetic product in spinach chloroplast preparations. Sucrose when present accounted for up to 30% of the CO(2) fixed. Experiments in which sucrose was formed have been compared with experiments in which it was not formed, and a possible control mechanism for sucrose synthesis is discussed.
