Abstract
Activities of photosynthetic and photorespiratory enzymes viz., ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, phosphoenol pyruvate carboxylase and glycolate oxidase from jute (Corchorus olitorius L.; cv. JRO 632) leaves were compared with those from maize (C4) and sunflower (C3) leaves. The photosynthetic CO2 fixation products, the release of 14CO2 in light and dark following photosynthesis in 14CO2, chlorophyll a: b ratio, gross leaf photosynthetic rate and dry matter production rate were also studied. The results show that jute is a C3 plant.
