Abstract: | The Hill reaction of chloroplasts was inhibited by washing themwith 0.8 M Tris buffer. This inhibition was further promotedby adding ferricyanide in the washing medium. When a reducingreagent, such as the 2,6-dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP)-ascorbatesystem or the hydroquinone (HQJ-ascorbate system, had been addedto the Tris buffer, Hill reaction activity was unaffected. Hill reaction activity of Tris-washed chloroplasts recoveredup to 70% of the initial level by re-washing the chloroplastswith a preparation medium containing theabove reducing reagents. Photobleaching of carotenoid and chlorophyll is characteristicof Tris-washed chloroplasts. However, reactivated chloroplastsshowed no photobleaching as in the case with intact chloroplasts.
