Abstract Polysomes from dark-grown and illuminated barley seedlings were translated in cell-free systems. The translation products reacting with the antibody against the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein (LHCP) were analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It was found that, in addition to the precursor protein of LHCP, a product was obtained that co-migrated with the mature protein. Furthermore, the results show that the light-induced proly(A)RNA for LHCP is integrated into the polysomal complex without delay, indicating that the integration of LHCP into the membrane is controlled at a higher level of gene expression.
