Figure 2

Electron flow to the reaction of carboxylation (JC) (open circle) and oxygenation (JO) (closed circle) and the rate of CO2 production by photorespiration (Rp) (closed triangle) for fully emerged A. donax leaves.

Values are corrected for leaf absorbance, 0.89 (±4.47 × 10−3) and are calculated from light response of assimilation rate at a ca of 400 μmol mol−1, leaf temperature of 25 °C and VPD of between 0.8 and 1.1 kPa. (Values are means and standard errors, for 5 different plants).
