title: Three decades in transport business: studies of metabolite transport in chloroplasts - a personal perspective.
abstract: This article gives an historical overview of our group's research on various metabolite translocators of chloroplasts, such as the translocators for phosphorylated intermediates of the Calvin-Benson cycle and of glycolysis, of ADP and ATP, of dicarboxylates, of pyruvate and of hexoses; how it began and where it led to. Wherever appropriate, references will be made to research in other laboratories.
