Abstract
This study established that S-degrees and Na2SO3 are oxidized by fresh but not by boiled wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) chloroplasts. Since th is process was observed both in the light and dark, it cannot be accou nted for merely by the operation of the photosynthetic electron transp ort chain. Involvement of several enzymatic systems localized in the c hloroplasts is hypothesized.
