Studies with rice seedlings have shown that light greatly stimulated the synthesis of ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco) and the transcription of the large (rbcL) and small (rbcS) subunits in vivo. The rbcS was more sensitive to light than rbcL and the subunit binding protein (rbcBP). Cycloheximide and chloramphenicol inhibited the synthesis of translatable mRNA of rbcL, rbcS and rbcBP, and rbcS was again the most sensitive.
