Direct assessment of the metabolic origin of carbon atoms in glutamate from illuminated leaves using 13C‐ NMR

Summary Glutamate (Glu) is the cornerstone of nitrogen assimilation and photorespiration in illuminated leaves. Despite this crucial role, our knowledge of the flux to Glu de novo synthesis is rather limited. Here, we used isotopic labelling with 13CO2 and 13C‐NMR analyses to examine the labelling p...
