X-ray microanalysis of mesophyll and bundle sheath maize chloroplasts showed that bound manganese is located within thylakoids, whereas bound iron is equally present in thylakoids and stroma. A simple correlation between manganese content and oxygen evolution capacity (Photosystem II activity) is unlikely since Mn is also present in bundle sheath thylakoids of low Photosystem II activity. A major part of manganese has probably a distinct function and only a minor part plays a role in the process of oxygen evolution.
对玉米叶肉和维管束鞘叶绿体的X射线微分析表明，结合态锰位于类囊体中，而结合态铁在类囊体和基质中均有分布。由于在光系统II活性较低的维管束鞘类囊体中也存在锰，所以锰含量与放氧能力（光系统II活性）之间不太可能存在简单的相关性。大部分锰可能具有独特的功能，只有一小部分在放氧过程中起作用。
