Abstract excerpt
The Arabidopsis mutant dicarboxylate transport (dct) is one of the classic mutants in the photorespiratory pathway. It requires high CO2 levels for survival. Physiologic and biochemical characterization of dct indicated that dct is deficient in the transport of dicarboxylates across the chloroplast envelope membrane. Hence, re-assimilation of ammonia generated by the photorespiratory cycle is blocked. However,...
