TLDR
In genera from two dicotyledonous families, Amaranthaceae and Chenopodiaceae, the occurrence of the C 4 -dicarboxylic acid pathway of photosynthesis correlates with low ribulose diphosphate carboxylase activity, high activities of phosphopyruvate car boxylase and phosphate synthetase, a unique type of leaf anatomy, and high photosynthesis rates.

Variations in the 13C/12C ratios of plants in relation to the pathway of photosynthetic carbon dioxide fixation

TL;DR: Additional data is presented to show that plants of genera which are known to follow the C4-dicarboxylic acid pathway in photosynthetic carbon dioxide fixation have δ 13C values in the −10 to −20‰ range.

Ecological Implications of dividing Plants into Groups with Distinct Photosynthetic Production Capacities

TL;DR: This chapter describes the data which supports the concept of dividing plants in distinct groups in order to analyze some ecological implications and consequences of a particular division and describes various criteria's based on which the plants are divided in distinct group.

Photosynthesis by sugar-cane leaves. A new carboxylation reaction and the pathway of sugar formation

C R Slack
- 01 Oct 1966 - 
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that the radioactivity incorporated into the C(4) dicarboxylic acid pool is transferred to sugars via 3-phosphoglycerate, which appears to be the only quantitatively significant carboxylation reaction.

The path of carbon in photosynthesis. V. Paper chromatography and radioautography of the products.

TL;DR: Paper chromatography has been used in the identification of compounds formed by plants during short periods of photosynthesis as mentioned in this paper, and it has been shown to be useful in the separation of polycarboxylic acids and phosphate esters.

Effect of oxygen on photosynthesis, photorespiration and respiration in detached leaves. I. Soybean.

TL;DR: Differential effects of O(2) on dark respiration (no effect) and photorespiration (stimulation) indicated that these were 2 different processes, and the extrapolation of the CO(2), compensation point to zero at zero O( 2), indicated thatdark respiration was suppressed in the light at least at zero S2 concentration.
