Características fotosintéticas de la yuca Manihot esculenta Crantz., anatomía foliar, ultraestructura de cloroplastos, tasas fotosintéticas y productos iniciales de la fijación del CO2 con 14C
Cassava, bean and maize leaves were fed with 14C02 in light and the primary products of photosynthesis identified 5 and 10 seconds after assimilation. In maize, approximately three quarters of the labelled carbon was incorporated in C4 acids, in bean about two thirds in PGA, and in cassava approximately 40-60 % in C3 acids with 30 . 50 % in PGA. These data indicate that cassava possesses the C4 photosynthetic cycle. Plant present vascular bundle sheath and differentiation between chloroplast, but the anatomy is not perfect, consequently appreciable carbon assimilation takes place directly through the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle.
