Summary
When etiolated maize seedlings were subjected to a heat stress of 40 or 45°C for 16 h, and subsequently illuminated, photoreduction of ferricyanide and noncyclic photophosphorylation by chloroplasts isolated therefrom were retarded, and the lag in the appearance of these photochemical reactions was extended.
