The pathway of carbon dioxide fixation in crassulacean plants.
Combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of malic acid derivatives has been used to show unequivocally that malic acid, synthesized during active acid accumulation in the dark by Kalanchoë daigremontiana Hammet et Perrier in the presence of (13)CO(2) is produced by a pathway involving a single carboxylation. The significance of the finding that crassulacean malate synthesized in the dark a...
متن کاملDark CO2 Fixation in Avocado Roots, Leaves, and Fruit
In a previous study avocado roots fixed CO2 about as rapidly as orange and lemon roots but much slower than bean roots (2). However, homogenates of avocado roots or leaves did not fix CO2. This study was made to explore reasons for the failure of homogenates of avocado to show CO2 fixation, and also to understand more of the relatively low degree of CO2 fixation by avocado roots in. case it may...
متن کاملC-labeled Assimilates in Grapefruit: Light and Dark CO2 Fixation by Leaves and Fruit
Distribution of radiolabeled assimilates was examined at various intervals after 1 hour of light or dark 14CO2 fixation by leaves or developing fruit of grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) so that the fate of assimilates from each source could be assessed at sequential stages of fruit growth. Exported products of both light and dark 14CO2 fixation in leaves were deposited primarily in juice tiss...

متن کاملCapacity of enzymes of the euphorbiacea Aleurites montana involved in CO2-fixation, compared to plants having C3-, C4- and Crassulacean acid metabolism.
Capacities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEP-Co), ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco), NADP+ malic enzyme (ME) and of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) were measured in the Euphorbiacea Aleurites montana, grown under 700 ppm CO2 for four weeks prior to enzyme extraction. For comparison Bryophyllum daigremontiana (CAM). Saccharum officinarum (C4) and Capsicum frutescens (C3) were treated ...
