Photosynthetic directed endosymbiosis to investigate the role of bioenergetics in chloroplast function and evolution by Bidhan Chandra De, Jay Cournoyer, Yang-le Gao, Catherine L. Wallace, Stanley Bram, Angad P. Mehta

“…However, rather than meeting the ATP requirements of the host cell, the modern-day land plant chloroplasts are suggested to utilize photosynthesized ATP predominantly for carbon assimilation. This is further highlighted by the fact that the plastidic ADP/ATP carrier translocases from land plants preferentially import ATP. …”
