Uptake of [1‐14C]pyruvate into the sorbitol‐impermeable space of mesophyll chloroplasts of a C4plant,Panicum miliaceumL., was investigated using a silicone oil filtering centrifugation method. An abrupt change of Na+concentration in the suspending medium of the chloroplasts in the dark induced accumulation of pyruvate in the stroma, similar to the case of light‐driven active uptake. The effect was specific to Na+among various mono‐ and divalent cations. The apparentKmfor Na+was in the range 2–5 mM. TheKmfor pyruvate was about 0.7 mM, which was similar to the value obtained in light‐driven uptake. The possible role of Na+symport in active pyruvate uptake by C4mesophyll chloroplasts is discussed.
