title: [Light-induced absorption changes at 590 nm in isolated pea chloroplasts and their relation to plastocyanin].
abstract: The light-induced decrease in absorption with the minimum at 590-595 nm has been found in chloroplasts of etiolated pea seedlings by the method of dual-wavelength difference spectrophotometry. It has been shown that this effect is caused by photoreduction of the electron carrier with the absorption maximum of its oxidized form at 590 nm. Photoreduction of the carrier has been observed after excitation both by the short-wave (646 nm) and long-wave (709 nm) red light, although the latter is less effective. It has been suggested that the absorption changes at 590 nm are caused by light-induced redox conversions of plastocyanin bound to chloroplast membrane.
