photorespiration

英 /ˌfəʊtəʊˌrespəˈreɪʃən/美 /ˌfoʊtoʊˌrespəˈreɪʃn/

基本释义

If rubisco could be persuaded not to catalyse photorespiration, plants would grow more vigorously.
如果二磷酸核酮糖羧化酶不会催化光呼吸作用，植物将会更好地生长。
Screening and use of photorespiration mutants is the best way to study the metabolism and functions of photorespiration.
筛选与利用光呼吸突变体是研究光呼吸代谢及其功能的最为有效的途径。
Thus C4 plants lessen photorespiration by carrying out photosynthesis only in cells that are insulated from high levels of CO2.
因此C4植物减少光呼吸的光合作用仅在细胞免受高水平的二氧化碳。

Photorespiration (also known as the oxidative photosynthetic carbon cycle, or C2 photosynthesis) is a process in plant metabolism which attempts to ameliorate the consequences of a wasteful oxygenation reaction by the enzyme RuBisCO. The desired reaction is the addition of carbon dioxide to RuBP (carboxylation), a key step in the Calvin-Benson cycle, however approximately 25% of reactions by RuBisCO instead add oxygen to RuBP (oxygenation), producing a product that cannot be used within the Calvin-Benson cycle.
