| Method |
Primary source Sharkey abstract: "… the rate of photorespiration can be calculated from the rate of net CO2 assimilation and the partial pressures of CO2 and O2." Primary source Betti et al. abstract: "Here [investigators] summarize recent advances obtained in photorespiratory engineering and discuss prospects for these advances to be transferred to major crops to help address the globally increasing demand for food and biomass production." |

P.1844 left column 2nd paragraph: "In the current atmosphere with 0.04% CO2 and 21% O2, in C3 plants about every fourth reaction is with O2 instead of CO2, leading to a 20–30% decrease in the net rate of photosynthesis (primary sources)." |
