Removal of redox-sensitive Rubisco Activase does not alter Rubisco regulation in soybean
Rubisco activase (Rca) facilitates the catalytic repair of Rubisco, the CO2-fixing enzyme of photosynthesis, following periods of darkness, low to high light transitions or stress. Removal of the redox-regulated ...

Open AccessUncertainty in measurements of the photorespiratory CO2 compensation point and its impact on models of leaf photosynthesis
Rates of carbon dioxide assimilation through photosynthesis are readily modeled using the Farquhar, von Caemmerer, and Berry (FvCB) model based on the biochemistry of the initial Rubisco-catalyzed reaction of ...

Photosynthesis in a CO2-Rich Atmosphere
The concentration of CO2 ([CO2]) in the atmosphere is projected to exceed 550 ppm by 2050. C3 plants respond directly to growth at elevated [CO2] by stimulation of photosynthesis and reduced stomatal conductance....

Modeling the Temperature Dependence of C3 Photosynthesis
The steady-state C3 model of photosynthesis originally developed by Graham Farquhar et al. (1980) and subsequently modified by others describes responses of leaf carbon assimilation to environmental variation. Th...
