| Abstract: | Investigations were made to determine the nature of a reducingsubstance which was formed on illuminating a reaction systemconsisting of chloroplast and cytoplasmic fraction of spinachleaves. From the results of spectrophotometric examinationsit was concluded that the photoproduct in question, or at leastits major portion, was ascorbic acid. The precursor of ascorbicacid, which was found to be heat unstable, was contained inthe cytoplasmic fraction. (Received October 12, 1960; ) |
