CO2 Assimilation by Etiolated Hordeum vulgare Seedlings during the Onset of Photosynthesis 1

J Biggins 1,3, R B Park 1
PMCID: PMC1086307  PMID: 16656220

Abstract

The assimilation of CO2 by etiolated Hordeum vulgare seedlings during an illumination period indicates a conversion of the organisms to autotrophy.

After 1 hour illumination, increases in the photo-assimilation of CO2 are observed and the distribution of C14 in the soluble fraction of the plants is predominantly in intermediates of the Calvin cycle.
