摘要：

Recent studies have shown that guard cell and coleoptile chloroplasts appear to be involved in blue light photoreception during blue light-dependent stomatal opening and phototropic bending. The guard cell chloroplast has been studied in detail but the coleoptile chloroplast is poorly understood. The present study was aimed at the characterization of the corn coleoptile chloroplast, and its comparison with mesophyll and guard eel chloroplasts. Coleoptile chloroplasts operated the xanthophyll cycle, and their zeaxanthin content tracked incident rates of solar radiation throughout the day. Zeaxanthin formation was very sensitive to low incident fluence rates, and saturated at around 800-1000 mu mol m(-2) s(-1). Zeaxanthin formation in corn mesophyll chloroplasts was insensitive to low fluence rates and saturated at around 1800 mu mol m(-2) s(-1). Quenching rates of chlorophyll a fluorescence transients from coleoptile chloroplasts induced by saturating fluence rates of actinic red light increased as a function of zeaxanthin content. This implies that zeaxanthin plays a photoprotective role in the coleoptile chloroplast. Addition of low fluence rates of blue light to saturating red light also increased quenching rates in a zeaxanthin-dependent fashion. This blue light response of the coleoptile chloroplast is analogous to that of the guard cell chloroplast, and implicates these organelles in the sensory transduction of blue light. On a chlorophyll basis, coleoptile chloroplasts had high rates of photosynthetic oxygen evolution and low rates of photosynthetic carbon fixation, as compared with mesophyll chloroplasts. In contrast with the uniform chloroplast distribution in the leaf, coleoptile chloroplasts were predominately found in the outer cell layers of the coleoptile cortex, and had large starch grains and a moderate amount of stacked grana and stroma lamellae. Several key properties of the coleoptiIe chloroplast were different from those of mesophyll chloroplasts and resembled those of guard cell chloroplasts. We propose that the common properties of guard cell and coleoptile chloroplasts define a functional pattern characteristic of chloroplasts specialized in photosensory transduction.
