The below mentioned article will highlight the experiment done to compare the rate of photosynthesis by Wilmott's Bubbler under different conditions. Wilmott's bubbler consists of a wide mouthed bottle fitted with a cork through which is inserted a glass tube. The lower end of this tube is fitted with a cork with hole through which a twig of Hydrilla plant [...]
The following points highlight the four evidences for the Calvin cycle. The evidences are: 1. Evidence from Studies of Variation of Labeling of Intermediates with Time by Employing Radioactive 14CO2 2. Evidence from the Labeling Pattern of the Carbon Chain in the Intermediates 3. Evidence from Changes in the Steady-State Levels of Intermediates and 4. Evidence from Isolation of the Enzymes. [...]
In this article, we will discuss about the C4 – Dicarboxylic Acid Pathway (Hatch–Slack Pathway). For considerable period of time the Calvin cycle as described earlier was thought to be the only photosynthetic reaction sequence operating in higher plants and algae. But in 1965 Kortschak, Hartt and Burr reported that 4-C containing dicarboxylic acids, malate and aspartate were the major [...]
