| It is therefore likely that photorespiration of herbaceous leaves is driven by a large carbon pool. |
| A temperature that is too elevated not only encourages photorespiration, at the expense of photosynthesis, but also infestation by certain parasites such as the double-pointed tetranic. |
| Ultimately, it may also be possible to reduce photorespiration through the genetic manipulation of photosynthetic enzymes. |
| Rubisco as an oxygenase splits RuBP into one PGA and a two-carbon acid phosphoglycolate, which initiates the photorespiratory carbon-oxidation cycle, or photorespiration. |
| A major cause is photorespiration, where oxygen is fixed and carbon dioxide respired. |
| Chloroplasts and mitochondria communicate through metabolites, exemplified by photorespiration and energy metabolism. |
