Nd. Alekhina et al., RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN NITROGEN ASSIMILATION AND PHOTOSYNTHESIS IN LEAF-CELLS OF C-3-PLANTS, Russian journal of plant physiology, 43(1), 1996, pp. 119-130
The relationship between photosynthesis and nitrogen assimilation in c
hloroplasts and cells of C-3-plants is reviewed. The spatial organizat
ion of these processes, the distribution of energy among them, and the
mechanisms of their interaction are considered. Special attention is
paid to the control mechanisms involving the compartmentation of proce
sses, partitioning of metabolites, and transport of substrates and pro
ducts.
