Abstract

Summary It has been 75 yr since leaf respiratory metabolism in the light (day respiration) was identified as a low‐flux metabolic pathway that accompanies photosynthesis. In principle, it provides carbon backbones for nitrogen assimilation and evolves CO 2 and thus impacts on plant carbon and nitrog...
