If photorespiration is studied as increzise in dry weight per plant under Warburg effect conditions, the following results are obtained with the tobacco mutant set derived from N. tabacum var. Consolation: The green phenotype exhibits approximately 30% more Warburg effect than the yellow-green phenotype. Treatment with 2% O_2 reduces the rate of the leaf area expansion in both phenotypes. If the O_2-effect is referred to unit leaf area, the relative Warburg effects are practically the same in both phenotypes. This phenomenon is due to the fact that under normal O_2-conditions the green phenotype exhibits a higher rate of photosynthesis than the yellow-green phenotype and the increase in leaf area under 2% O_2 is inhibited more strongly in the yellow-green phenotype than in the green one. If, in the short experimental period, the increase of dry weight or increase in leaf area under 2% O_2-partial pressure is taken as a criterion of photorespiration, the yellow phenotype shows practically no effect. However, the yellow phenotype reacts very unfavorably upon exposure to 2% O_2. This treatment inhibits its ability to perform photosynthesis, apparently irreversibly. A prolonged period of exposure to 2% O_2 also damages the photosynthetic apparatus in the green and yellow-green phenotypes. This damage, however, seems to be partly reversible. Evidently the defective plants are characterized by the genetic condition which belongs to the green and yellow phenotypes.
