Summary

Isolated chloroplasts from the bundle sheath cells show considerable activity of the ADPG- and UDPG-pyrophosphorylase (EC 2.7.7.9), ADPG- and UDPG-transglucosylase (EC 2.4.1.21), and the starch phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.1). In chloroplasts of the palisade cells, on the other hand, only the UDPG-pyrophosphorylase is remarkably active.
