The Order of the Blackman Reaction in Photosynthesis
نویسنده
چکیده
On the assumption that photosynthesis is a cyclic process and that irradiation by ultraviolet light does not change the reaction constants, the Blackman reaction is shown to be of first order.

Nature of the Blackman Reaction in Photosynthesis.
Among those writing on the mechanism of photosynthesis, which include WARBURG (7), WILLSTATTER (9), and FRANCK (3), the opinion is widely held that the Blackman reaction, which limits the rate of assimilation at high light intensities and carbon dioxide concentrations, involves the decomposition of a peroxide, formed in a preceding photochemical reaction, by the enzyme catalase. The best experi...
متن کاملThe Influence of Light and Carbon Dioxide on Photosynthesis
1. An optical system is described which furnishes an intensity of 282,000 meter candles at the bottom of a Warburg manometric vessel. With such a high intensity available it was possible to measure the rate of photosynthesis of single fronds of Cabomba caroliniana over a large range of intensities and CO(2) concentrations. 2. The data obtained are described with high precision by the equation K...
متن کاملInhibition of Photosynthesis in Chlorella Pyrenoidosa by the Iodo-acetyl Radical
Photosynthesis in Chlorella pyrenoidosa is inhibited by iodo-acetic acid and iodo-acetamide, both of which attack the Blackman reaction. Since acetamide is without effect, the iodo-acetyl radical must be responsible. The study of the action of the acid is complicated by the fact that its ions penetrate slowly, if at all, so that negative results with this agent are without significance unless p...
متن کاملThe Photochemical Reaction in Photosynthesis
Measurements of photosynthesis were made in continuous and flashing light of high intensity, using cells varying in chlorophyll content. The amount of chlorophyll present per molecule of carbon dioxide reduced per single flash of light was found to be about 2480 molecules. The length of time required for one unit in the photosynthetic mechanism to complete the cycle of photochemical and Blackma...
متن کاملThe effect of spraying of methyl jasmonate and 24-epi-brassinolide on photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence and leaf stomatal traits in black mustard (Brassica nigra L.) under salinity stress
Methyl jasmonate and Epi-brassinolide as plant growth regulators have significant biological effects on plant growth, including increased tolerance to salt stress in plants. In this study, the effects of salinity stress and its interaction with methyl jasmonate and Epi-brassinolide on chlorophyll concentration, rate of photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance and resistance and chlor...
