Dark Carbon Dioxide Fixation under Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions in Maize Leaves after Preillumination in the Absence of Oxygen: Ribulose 1,5-Bisphosphate Can Serve as a Primary Acceptor of Carbon Dioxide

RESUMO

When dark 14CO2 fixation in maize leaves was carried out under anaerobic conditions after preillumination in the absence of O2, the 14C incorporation in aspartic acid was transient; its maximum level was very low compared with that of malic acid. The addition of 5% O2 during the dark fixation period increased the total uptake of 14CO2 and the 14C incorporation into aspartic acid.
