Relationship between Photosynthesis and Respiration: The Effect of Carbohydrate Status on the Rate of CO2 Production by Respiration in Darkened and Illuminated Wheat Leaves

Abstract

The rate of dark CO(2) efflux from mature wheat (Triticum aestivum cv Gabo) leaves at the end of the night is less than that found after a period of photosynthesis. After photosynthesis, the dark CO(2) efflux shows complex dependence on time and temperature. For about 30 minutes after darkening, CO(2) efflux includes a large component which can be abolished by transferring illuminated leaves to 3% O(2) and 330 microbar CO(2) before darkening. After 30 minutes of darkness, a relatively steady rate of CO(2) efflux was obtained. The temperature dependence of steady-state dark CO(2) efflux at the end of the night differs from that after a period of photosynthesis. The higher rate of dark CO(2) efflux following photosynthesis is correlated with accumulated net CO(2) assimilation and with an increase in several carbohydrate fractions in the leaf. It is also correlated with an increase in the CO(2) compensation point in 21% O(2), and an increase in the light compensation point. The interactions between CO(2) efflux from carbohydrate oxidation and photorespiration are discussed. It is concluded that the rate of CO(2) efflux by respiration is comparable in darkened and illuminated wheat leaves.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
