Abstract
The aim of this work is to use heterozygous mutants of barley to study the regulation and control of photosynthetic and photorespiratory metabolism in leaves (i) to study the mechanisms which underlie changes in photorespiratory metabolism and photorespiratory CO2 and NH3 release in mutants with less glutamine synthetase (ii) to determine the effect of reduced activities of glycine decarboxylase and hydroxypyruvate reductase on photosynthetic fluxes, to analyse these data by metabolic control analysis and to achieve an understanding of the regulatory mechanisms which underlie changes in these enzymes under varying environmental conditions (light, CO2, and temperature).
