Effect of Oxygen on Photosynthesis in Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L.) Leaves at Elevated Carbon Dioxide Concentration

  • Chapter
Biological Control of Photosynthesis

Part of the book series: Advances in Agricultural Biotechnology ((AABI,volume 19))

Abstract

The effect of oxygen on photosynthesis depends on plant species and on some internal and environmental conditions. Oxygen inhibits the photosynthesis of C3 plants at atmospheric CO2 concentration (Warburg effect). The main cause of this phenomenon is the competitive inhibition of RuBP carboxylation and stimulation of RuBP oxygenation, the latter resulting in formation of glycolate and photorespiratory CO2. Oxygen inhibition of photosynthesis may also be due to the decrease of RuBP regeneration rate and diminution of the pool size of this substrate (1–16).
