Root-Derived Bicarbonate Assimilation in Plants

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the physiological effects of bicarbonate in plants, this book introduces a bidirectional isotope labeling tracer technique for quantifying the impact of root-derived bicarbonate on photosynthetic carbon assimilation. It highlights the significance of dissolved inorganic carbon from the soil in photosynthesis, addressing a previously underestimated aspect of plant biology. This systematic approach aims to enhance understanding of how bicarbonate contributes to overall plant growth and photosynthetic efficiency.
