Abstract: | This analysis suggests that a model of the temperature dependenceof carbon exchange by a plant can be developed based upon absolutereaction rate theory. Component temperature-dependent physiologicalprocesses necessary to describe net photosynthesis over thebiological temperature range include the light reaction, darkreaction (carboxylase CO2 uptake, oxygenase photorespiration)and mitochondrial dark respiration. An essential assumptionof the model is the reversibility of thermal inhibition. Supportingevidence for this assumption is provided within the biologicalrange. Thermodynamic constants were found to be strongly correlatedwith the thermal environment to which they were adapted. Therewas little difference in non-photorespiration thermodynamicconstants between C2 andC4species within thermal habitat types.The model shows the observed shift in temperature optima withlight intensity as a natural consequence of enzyme kineticsand absolute reaction rate theory. photosynthesis, photorespiration, dark respiration, temperature response, carbon exchange, mathematical model |
