Gas Exchange Studies of Carboxylation Kinetics in Intact Leaves

  • Chapter
Progress in Photosynthesis Research

Abstract

The carboxylation of RuBP is a key process in the photosynthesis of C3 plants being rate-limiting in many cases. The kinetic properties of RuBP carboxylase have been extensively studied (1), but as in vitro conditions never exactly imitate the conditions in a living cell, it would be interesting to obtain information about the kinetic parameters of the carboxylation process in intact leaves.
