"The reactions which are involved in inorganic carbon assimilation can be divided into (1) transport of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate in the medium, (2) interconversion of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate in the medium, (3) passive or active transport of carbon dioxide or bicarbonate across the plasmalemma and the plastid envelope, (4) intracellular (cytosol or stroma) interconversion of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate, and (5) RUBISCO (and subsequent reaction) activity. The maximal rates of inorganic carbon assimilation which these various reactions permit are quoted in table 5.7. The state of the art is such that reasonably definitive data are only available for a few plants." See notes beneath table |
