Induction Phenomena in Photosynthesis of Isolated Spinach Chloroplasts

Nature volume 186, pages 652–653 (1960)Cite this article

Abstract

IN a number of papers concerning the induction phenomena during photosynthesis1–5 I have determined the interrelationship between time and photo-synthetic intensity as expressed by the photosynthesis time-curve. The sample plants used were mainly various species of moss4. In most cases the rate of photosynthesis was measured in terms of uptake of carbon dioxide ; but in a few cases the rate of oxygen given off was measured as well3: the determinations were made by means of the diaferometer method (the gas thermal conductivity method)1.
