Abstract

Photosynthesis is the incorporation of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur and other substances into plant tissue using light energy from the sun. Most of this energy is used for the reduction of carbon dioxide and, consequently, there is a large body of biochemical and biophysical information about photo synthetic carbon assimilation. In an ecophysiological context, we believe that most of today’s biochemical knowledge can be summarized in a few simple equations. These equations represent the rate of ribulose bisphosphate (RuP2)-saturated carboxylation, the ratio of photorespiration to carboxylation, and the rates of electron transport/photophosphorylation and of “dark” respiration in the light. There are many other processes that could potentially limit CO2 assimilation, but probably do so rarely in practice. Fundamentally this may be due to the expense, in terms of invested nitrogen, of the carboxylase and of thylakoid functioning. To reach our final simple equations we must first discuss the biochemical and biophysical structures — as they are understood at present — that finally reduce the vast number of potentially rate-limiting processes to the four or five listed above. A diagrammatic representation of these processes is given in Fig. 16.1.
