Abstract
Activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) increased 10- to 20-fold when 5-day-old seedlings of sorghum cv. INRA 450 were transferred from darkness to light. Since the amount of the initial form of PEPC present (C3 form) remained constant and a C4 type appeared with different physicochemical and immunochemical properties, it was concluded and confirmed that illumination triggers de novo synthesis of C4 PEPC in mesophyll cells.
