Abstract
PREVIOUSLY1 we have found ribosomes in chloroplasts of Chenopodium album and Clivia miniata. As shown by electron microscopy and biochemical methods, ribosomes located in the matrix of chloroplasts are 180–200 Å in diameter and possess a sedimentation coefficient of about 70 S in the presence of 10−2 M Mg2+. The work described here is concerned with the isolation of chloroplast ribosomes from a number of higher plants and investigation of some of their chemical and physico-chemical properties.
