Role of Dark-Fixation of CO2 in Plants

In this article we will discuss about the role of dark-fixation of CO2 in plants. In several plants a highly specialized cellular adaptation in most of the developmental systems exists in which dark-fixation of CO2 utilizes phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) derived from carbohydrates as a substrate plays a vital role (Fig). Malate produced from dark fixation of CO2 acted as an osmoregulatory [...]
