Figure 7.
The control coefficient of the maximum activity of photosynthetic enzymes (V max) through time(s) of induction. After dark adaptation, the light intensity was raised to 1800 µmol m−2 sec−1. The photosynthetic enzymes shown here include: PEPC, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase; PPDK, pyruvate phosphate dikinase; MDH, malate dehydrogenase (NADP+); ME, NADP‐malic enzyme; mutase and enolase; Rubisco, ribulose‐bisphosphate carboxylase; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (NADP+); SBPase, sedoheptulose‐bisphosphatase; FBPase, fructose‐bisphosphatase; PRK, phosphoribulokinase. (a, c, e) The predicted control coefficients of the C4 cycle enzymes. (b, d, f) The predicted control coefficients of the Calvin–Benson cycle enzymes.
