Abstract
Studies on protein synthesis by isolated chloroplasts have contributed a great deal to our present knowledge of the biogenesis of chloroplast proteins. So far, the available information has been obtained with only a few higher plants and algae. In Chlamydomonas, studies on chloroplast protein synthesis have been carried out indirectly: in vivo by pulse-labelling the cells in the presence of specific inhibitors (Chua, Gillham 1977), or in vitro using polyribosomes, free or thylakoid-bound, or chloroplast DNA (for review, see Ellis 1981).
