Relationships between CO2 assimilation rate per Rubisco site and Rubisco kcat for C3 and C4 species. A, Performance in a C3 leaf calculated using Rubisco kinetic parameters from Parry et al. (2011) at 25°C and assuming a partial pressure of CO2 in the chloroplast of 200 µbar (Eq. 3). B, Performance of C4 species recalculated from Ghannoum et al. (2005) at 30°C, differentiating between two decarboxylation subtypes. ME, Malic enzyme.
