Light-stimulated Oxygen Uptake and Glycolic Acid Oxidase in Typha latifolia L. Leaf Disks

Nature volume 211, pages 1197–1198 (1966)Cite this article

Abstract

THE relationship between light and green plant respiration has been the subject of a considerable debate1 which has been carried over into recent literature2. Investigations using simultaneous monitoring of water and oxygen-17 indicated that light-stimulated oxygen may occur in some species but not in others3–6. Similar results were obtained in experiments monitoring carbon dioxide absorption and evolution7.
