Abstract

THE relationship between light and green plant respiration has been the subject of a considerable debate1 which has been carried over into recent literature2. Investigations using simultaneous monitoring of water and oxygen-17 indicated that light-stimulated oxygen may occur in some species but not in others3–6. Similar results were obtained in experiments monitoring carbon dioxide absorption and evolution7.
