Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism in Photorespiratory Mutants of Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.)

  • Chapter
Biological Control of Photosynthesis

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

Abstract

The leaves of some plant species show light- and O2- dependent release of CO2, known as photorespiration (1,2). Photorespiration is regarded as an inevitable consequence of photosynthesis, and is due to the oxygenase activity of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (3). It is an apparently wasteful process: loss of CO2 during photorespiration may be 15–20% of net photosynthesis and energy is consumed (4). Figure 1 illustrates the photorespiratory pathway and shows its interactions with carbon and nitrogen assimilation.
