SHORT COMMUNICATION Leaf O2 uptake in the dark is independent of coincident CO2 partial pressure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Elevated CO2, in the dark, is sometimes reported to inhibit leaf respiration, with respiration usually measured as CO2 efflux. Oxygen uptake may be a better gauge of respiration because non-respiratory processes can affect dark CO2 efflux in elevated CO2. Two methods of quantifying O2 uptake indicated that leaf respiration was unaffected by coincident CO2 level in the dark.

Water uptake of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) during exposure to O2 deficiency and field level CO2 concentration in the root zone
This study determined whether the field level concentration of root zone CO2 affects transpiration rate and root water transport in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.). In an upland field converted from a paddy field, topsoil CO2 during the cropping season rose to 8 kPa of partial pressure after rainfall, whereas O2 dropped only to a minimum of 7 kPa. An elevated root zone CO2 pressure of 6 kPa sign...
متن کاملRespiratory oxygen uptake is not decreased by an instantaneous elevation of [CO2], but is increased with long-term growth in the field at elevated [CO2].
Averaged across many previous investigations, doubling the CO2 concentration ([CO2]) has frequently been reported to cause an instantaneous reduction of leaf dark respiration measured as CO2 efflux. No known mechanism accounts for this effect, and four recent studies have shown that the measurement of respiratory CO2 efflux is prone to experimental artifacts that could account for the reported ...
متن کاملChlamydomonas reinhardtii cell preparation with altered permeability toward substrates of organellar reactions.
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells disrupted under low pressure in a Yeda press yielded a preparation ("presate") with high permeability toward substrates for Class A chloroplasts and intact mitochondria. The stoichiometric rates of CO2 uptake and O2 photoevolution by the wild-type cell pressate were severely suppressed by 10 mM exogenous phosphate, and this suppression could be reversed by the ad...
متن کاملUnderwater Photosynthesis and Internal Aeration of Submerged Terrestrial Wetland Plants
Submergence impedes plant gas exchange with the environment. Survival depends upon internal aeration to provide O2 throughout the plant body, although short-term anoxia can be tolerated. During nights, plants rely on O2 entry from the floodwater and pO2 in roots declines so that some tissues become severely hypoxic or even anoxic. Underwater photosynthesis is the main daytime O2 source and also...
متن کاملEffect of CO2 Partial Pressure on the Thermal Decomposition Kinetics of Zinc Carbonate Hydroxide (TECHNICAL NOTE)
In this work, the effect of carbon dioxide partial pressure on the calcination kinetics of high purity zinc carbonate hydroxide has been studied. Non-isothermal analysis has been performed on samples at different CO2 partial pressures by TGA and DTA. It has been found that the calcination behaviour of this material corresponds to the shrinking core model and the reaction mechanism is phase boun...
