Abstract
SOME results of an investigation into light compensation points of photosynthesizing leaves are relevant to arguments about the occurrence or absence of photorespiration in illuminated leaves of species which do not release carbon dioxide into carbon dioxide-free air, and which have a carbon dioxide compensation point (Γ) close to zero1–3.
