The triose phosphate utilization limitation of photosynthetic rate: Out of global models but important for leaf models

Plant Cell Environ. 2021 Oct;44(10):3223-3226. doi: 10.1111/pce.14153. Epub 2021 Jul 27.

Abstract

The effect of including triose phosphate utilization (TPU) on parameterization of the Farquhar, von Caemmerer, Berry model of photosynthetic gas exchange measurements is explored. Better fits to data are found even though TPU rarely limits photosynthesis under physiological conditions.
