Chloroplasts in bundle sheath cells (BSC) of maize perform photosystem I (PSI)-mediated production of ATP. In this study, the participation of ascorbate (Asc) as an electron donor to PST in light-induced electron transport in isolated maize BSC was demonstrated. It was found that Asc, at physiological concentrations, rapidly reduced photooxidized reaction center chlorophyll of PSI (P700), The rate of Asc donation of electrons to P700(+) reached rates of 50-100 mu equivalents (mg Chi)(-1) h(-1) at 70-80 mM ascorbate with methyl viologen as an electron acceptor, Electron transport supported by Asc was coupled with membrane energization, as demonstrated by the light-induced formation of a trans-thylakoid electric field measured by the electrochromic shift of carotenoids. The possible physiological function of Asc-dependent electron transport in bundle sheath chloroplasts of maize, as an electron donor for linear electron flow versus sustaining cyclic electron transport, is discussed.
