Photorespiratory Phenomena in Maize: Oxygen Uptake, Isotope Discrimination, and Carbon Dioxide Efflux 1

Volk, R. J.

RESUMO

Concurrent O2 evolution, O2 uptake, and CO2 uptake by illuminated maize (Zea mays) leaves were measured using 13CO2 and 18O2. Considerable O2 uptake occurred during active photosynthesis. At CO2 compensation, O2 uptake increased. Associated with this increase was a decrease in O2 release such that a stoichiometric exchange of O2 occurred. The rate of O2 exchange at CO2 compensation was directly related to O2 concentration in the atmosphere at least up to 8% (v/v).
