Abstract
The chloroplast always seems to be faced with reconciling the irreconcilable. While evolving oxygen, it must simultaneously produce an intermediate more reducing than hydrogen. While reducing NADP it can simultaneously generate ATP, an achievement which, when first reported, seemed almost as remarkable as making water flow uphill. No less striking in their own way are two seemingly conflicting roles in carbon metabolism. On the one hand, the chloroplast must operate its carbon cycle as an autocatalytic breeder reaction, while on the other, it must export elaborated carbon and chemical energy to its cellular environment. In order to export, it must produce more than it uses, but it can only do this by returning newly synthesised intermediates to the cycle. Conversely, in order to satisfy the needs of the cell, it must release newly made products to the cytoplasm. Clearly, these processes could not be efficiently accomplished unless it were possible to strike a delicate balance between recycling, export and internal storage. Precisely how this is done is still largely a matter for speculation, but this Chapter will attempt to show how contemporary work has provided a factual basis for conjecture.
