Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect RuBPCase activity in wheat leaves increased as light intensity or CO2 concentration during pretreatment was increased.
- Intervention effect RuBPCase activity in wheat leaves increased as temperature during pretreatment was decreased.
- Observation The Km of RuBPCase for CO2 under air-level O2 was 30 μM CO2.
- Mechanism RuBPCase activity in wheat may be regulated by CO2, light and temperature according to the requirements for CO2 fixation.
