Abstract: | A rapid and convenient procedure was developed for isolatingguard cell protoplasts (GCPs) from epidermal strips of Viciafaba L. The mean rates of O2 uptake in the dark and evolutionin light of the isolated GCPs were 200 and 290 µmol O2mg1 Chl h1, respectively, showing net O2 evolutionin light. Photosynthetic O2 evolution was suppressed completelyby 5 µM DCMU. Addition of 5 µM DCMU to the incubationmedium after 30 min of light exposure also suppressed the light-inducedswelling of GCP, indicating possible participation of PS IIin volume regulation in GCP.
