Abstract
Summary A marked decrease of ribulosediphosphate carboxylase (RuDPC) activity was observed in leaves of winter rape plants ( Brassica napus L., var. oleifera , cv. Gorczainski) during two weeks of leaf growth at cold (2 °C) or ambient temperature. On the other hand, the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) increased considerably in cold-treated leaves while it remained almost unchanged in leaves of plants grown at ambient temperature. The ratio of activities of PEPC to RuDPC was found to increase during plant acclimation to low temperature.
