Bundle sheath and mesophyll chloroplasts from Zea mays showed comparable rates of O(2) evolution, which amounted to about half of the rate observed in spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts.Ratios of 4.5, 4.6, and 6.2 Mn(2+) atoms per 400 chlorophylls were observed in mesophyll, bundle sheath, and spinach chloroplasts, respectively. These ratios roughly correspond to the observed O(2) evolution rates.Rates of electron transport from water to methylviologen (photosystem I and II) in both types of corn chloroplasts were about one-third that in spinach. Compared to spinach, transport rates from reduced diaminodurene to methylviologen (photosystem I) were about one-third and greater than one-half in mesophyll and bundle sheath material, respectively.In both types of corn chloroplasts, electron flow from photosystem II to P700 was abnormal. This observation, together with the low rates of all activities, suggests that damage occurred during isolation. Such damage may limit the quantitative significance of observations made with these materials (including the following data).Measurements of flash yields of O(2) evolution or O(2) uptake showed that the size of the photosynthetic unit was the same in photosystems I and II and in all three types of chloroplasts (about 400 chlorophylls per equivalent).Similarity of the photochemical cross-section of the two photosystems in the three preparations was also found in optical experiments: that is the half-times of the fluorescence rise in the presence of 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU) (photosystem II) and of the photooxidation of P700 (photosystem I).The ratio of P700 to chlorophyll appeared to be about 2-fold higher in bundle sheath chloroplasts than in the other materials (1/200 versus 1/400).
