Abstract

Stomatal opening, net photosynthesis, enzyme activities of RuBPC and PEPC, and photosyntheticphotorespiratory metabolisms were studied in wheat under increasing irradiance from 40 to 2 000 μmoles. m-2 .s-1. The studies on the first three confirmed data well known in wheat. Results on relative variation in metabolic flux suggested that photorespiration plays a positive part in production, in protecting chloroplast structures and diversifying photosynthetic biosynthesis.
