The efficiency of C(4) photosynthesis under low light conditions : assumptions and calculations with CO(2) isotope discrimination

Leakiness (Φ), the proportion of carbon fixed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylation that leaks out of the bundle-sheath cells, determines C(4) photosynthetic efficiency. Large increases in Φ have been described at low irradiance. The underlying mechanisms for this increase remain uncertain, but chang...
