Carbon isotope discrimination as a diagnostic tool for C4 photosynthesis in C3-C4 intermediate species
The presence and activity of the C4 cycle in C3-C4 intermediate species have proven difficult to analyze, especially when such activity is low. This study proposes a strategy to detect C4 activity and estimate its contribution to overall photosynthesis in intermediate plants, by using tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) coupled to gas exchange systems to simultaneously measure t...
متن کاملCarbon isotope discrimination as a tool to explore C4 photosynthesis.
Photosynthetic carbon isotope discrimination is a non-destructive tool for investigating C4 metabolism. Tuneable diode laser absorption spectroscopy provides new opportunities for making rapid, concurrent measurements of carbon isotope discrimination and CO2 assimilation over a range of environmental conditions, and this has facilitated the use of carbon isotope discrimination as a probe of C4 ...

متن کاملCarbon isotope discrimination of C3 vegetation in Central Asian grassland as related to long-term and short-term precipitation patterns
The relationship between carbon isotope discrimination (131) of C3 vegetation and long-term (30 years) and short-term (growing period) precipitation was investigated. Different species of Stipa, a dominant grass genus in the (semi-)arid Asian steppes, and other C3 species were collected along aridity gradients in Inner Mongolia in 2005 (11 sites, 71 samples) and in the Republic of Mongolia in 2...
متن کاملClarifying the influence of water availability and plant types on carbon isotope discrimination by C3 plants.
We are pleased that the results of Kohn (1) so strongly support our findings published earlier in PNAS (2). Both studies (1, 2) analyzed published measurements of the carbon isotope composition of plants and quantified relationships between isotopic fractionation and environmental factors at large spatial scales. These relationships will be useful when interpreting archives of plant-derived car...
