Purified spinach chloroplast and daffodil chromoplast preparations do not use mevalonate, phosphomevalonate, and diphosphomevalonate for the synthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate. Isopentenyl diphosphate, on the other hand, is incorporated into plastidal polyprenoids in large amounts. In the presence
