All measurements of intact leaf 02 sensitivity can be explained by the oxygenation model for glycolate formation and glycolate metabolism by established pathways. Predicting the rate of oxygenation from the underlying biochemistry is more reliable than calculating the rate of oxygenation from intact leaf gas exchange measurements. REFERENCES 1.

This book contains the proceedings of a symposium, held in the Limburgs Universitair Centrum, Diepenbeek, Belgium, from July 23 to 29, 1978.1t can be considered as a continuation of the publication 'Environmental and Biological Control of Photosynthesis' (Dr. W. Junk b.v. Publishers, The Hague, 1975). In the last meeting, however, emphasis was much more on the biological control of photosynthesis. The sequence of the different topic sessions and papers on the symposium programme is maintained in the publication; the editors are aware of the fact that different contributions might figure...
