Light versus Dark Carbon Metabolism in Cherry Tomato Fruits: I. Occurrence of Photosynthesis. Study of the Intermediates

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The photosynthetic properties of the internal and peripheral tissues of the cherry tomato fruit (Lycopersicum esculentum var. cerasiforme Dun A. Gray) were investigated. Whole fruit and their isolated tissues evolve large amounts of CO2 in darkness. In the light, this evolution decreases but nevertheless remains a net evolution; 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea abolishes the effects of light.
