It has been recognized for more than a century that chloroplasts alter their distribution within cells depending on the external light conditions. Senn (1908) documented light-induced chloroplast movement in a number of higher plants and algae, and the phenomenon has long been accepted as a means of optimizing photosynthetic light absorption under changing light conditions. Thus, chloroplasts c...
