In plants, carbon dioxide (CO2) enters the chloroplast through the stomata and diffuses into the stroma of the chloroplast—the site of the Calvin cycle reactions where sugar is synthesized. The reactions are named after the scientist who discovered them, and reference the fact that the reactions...

Calvin Cycle Regulation and Effect on PhotosynthesisLorato Lekgari
Calvin Cycle Steps and Diagram By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. This is carbon fixation, or fixing inorganic carbon into organic molecules that the plant can use: 3 CO2+ 6 NADPH + 5 H2O + 9 ATP → glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) + 2 H++ 6 NADP++ 9 ADP + 8 Pi(Pi= inorganic...
Genetic manipulation of brassinosteroid (BR) biosynthesis or signaling is a promising strategy to improve crop yield and quality. However, the relationships between the BR-promoted growth and photosynthesis and the exact mechanism of BR-regulated photosy
Calvin cyclePathway of carbon dioxide fixation and reduction in photosynthesis, the Calvin cycle. The diagram represents one complete turn of the cycle, with the net production of one molecule of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (Gal3P). This three-carbon sugar phosphate usually is converted to either su...
