Factors Affecting Photosynthesis
Learninsta presents the core concepts of Biology with high-quality research papers and topical review articles. Factors Affecting Photosynthesis In 1860, Sachs gave three cardinal points theory explaining minimum, optimum and maximum factors that control photosynthesis. In 1905, Blackman put forth the importance of smallest factor. Blackman’s law of limiting factor is … [Read more...] about Factors Affecting Photosynthesis
Photorespiration or Cycle or Photosynthetic Carbon Oxidation (PCO) Cycle
Learninsta presents the core concepts of Biology with high-quality research papers and topical review articles. Photorespiration or Cycle or Photosynthetic Carbon Oxidation (PCO) Cycle Respiration is a continuous process for all living organisms including plants. Decker (1959) observed that rate of respiration is more in light than in dark. Photorespiration is the excess … [Read more...] about Photorespiration or Cycle or Photosynthetic Carbon Oxidation (PCO) Cycle
Crassulacean Acid Metabolism or CAM Cycle
Learninsta presents the core concepts of Biology with high-quality research papers and topical review articles. Crassulacean Acid Metabolism or CAM Cycle It is one of the carbon pathways identified in succulent plants growing in semi-arid or xerophytic condition. This was first observed in crassulaceae family plants like Bryophyllum, Sedum, Kalanchoe and is the reason behind … [Read more...] about Crassulacean Acid Metabolism or CAM Cycle
