Abstract

Leaves are among the most specialized of all plant organs, devoting most of their activity to the production of ribulose-l,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (RuBISCO). This key protein is mentioned here to introduce the chapter on leaves not only because of its importance as a primary enzyme for carbon fixation in the initial reaction of photosynthesis, but also to emphasize that all of the, structural and developmental adaptations of leaves are geared to maximize the production of RuBISCO.
