Title
THE CHLOROPHYLL-CARBON DIOXIDE RATIO DURING PHOTOSYNTHESIS
E. D. McAlister The Journal of General Physiology 1939. doi:10.1085/jgp.22.5.613
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Carbon dioxide taken up and total chlorophyll molecules stood in a stoichiometry of the order of unity
- Observation The induction loss was of the order of the total number of chlorophyll molecules present
- Association Chlorophyll fluorescence and induction in photosynthesis showed a close relationship
- Mechanism The intermediate for carbon dioxide fixation is suggested to be chlorophyllous in nature
- Intervention effect Respiration of wheat under intense illumination was identical to the dark respiration rate
