| Comments | This is consistent with the fraction of chlorophyll associated with PSII (BNID 106046, 106047). Text in Ref says "Fraction of light that PSII should process if cyclic electron flow with a proton pumping NDH is used" NDH=NADPH dehydrogenase. If cyclic electron flow were the main pathway producing the extra ATP in C4 leaves, the proportion of light captured by PSII would only need to be 0.27 rather than 0.44. |
