PHOTOSYNTHESIS BY AQUATIC PLANTS: EFFECTS OF UNSTIRRED LAYERS IN RELATION TO ASSIMILATION OF CO<sub>2</sub> AND HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup>AND TO CARBON ISOTOPIC DISCRIMINATION

抄録

<jats:title>S<jats:sc>ummary</jats:sc></jats:title><jats:p>We review and reassess experimental evidence which indicates that the unstirred layers of solution bathing aquatic plant cells or organs represent a major factor limiting their rate of photosynthesis under natural conditions. Unstirred layers may also limit membrane transport of HCO<jats:sub>3</jats:sub><jats:sup>−</jats:sup> where this occurs. Some authors have suggested that aquatic plants carry out C<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>photosynthesis and cite in support measurements of discrimination between <jats:sup>13</jats:sup>C and <jats:sup>12</jats:sup>C. We propose that this discrimination can also be a manifestation of the presence of unstirred layers or membrane transport or both.</jats:p>
