In tissue cultures of Nicotiana tabacum L. ribulose-diphosphate carboxylase and NADP-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase can be found only after transfer of the tissue to light. The increase of the activities of these enzymes parallels that of chlorophyll.The increase in
By phase microscopy of living cells the cause of a maternally-inherited variegated, spontaneous mutation of Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Turkish Samsun was shown to be the presence of defective chloroplasts. These were intermingled with normal chloroplasts in some of the cells of the mesophyll tissue.
The addition of glyoxylate to tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaf discs inhibited glycolate synthesis and photorespiration and increased net photosynthetic (14)CO(2) fixation. This inhibition of photorespiration was investigated further by studying the effect of glyoxylate on the stimulation of
Under conditions where glycolate synthesis was inhibited at least 50% in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaf discs treated with glycidate (2,3-epoxypropionate), the ribulose diphosphate carboxylase activity in extracts and the inhibition of the activity by 100% oxygen were unaffected by the
