Question

How do you compute carboxylation capacity (Vcmax) and what does the value tell you about the plant?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Answer:

The maximum Rubisco carboxylation capacity, or Vc,max, is a crucial photosynthetic metric that is essential for determining how much carbon is assimilated. Deriving Vc,max from the beginning slope of an A-Ci curve is the gold-standard method for doing so. A speedy and alternative "one-point" assessment of photosynthesis could yield accurate estimates of Vc,max, which would hasten data gathering and model parameterization.
