In stroma, enzymatic reactions incorporate CO2 into the plant leading tothe synthesis of sugar, whichare not directly light driven but are dependent on the products of light reactions (ATP and NADPH). Hence, to distinguish the latter theyare called, by convention, as dark reactions. However, this should not beconstrued to mean that they occur in darkness or that they are notlightdependent.

Stroma, in botany, refers to the colorless fluid surrounding the grana within the chloroplast. Within the stroma are grana, stacks of thylakoids, the sub-organelles, the daughter cells, where photosynthesis is commenced before the chemical changes are completed in the stroma. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages.

Initially, the stroma was thought to simply provide support for the pigmented thylakoids. However it is now known that the stroma contains starch, chloroplast DNA and ribosomes, as well as all the enzymes required for light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin cycle.
