Traditionally, leaves were thought to be supplied with CO2for photosynthesis by the atmosphere and respiration. Recent studies, however, have shown that the xylem also transports a significant amount of inorganic carbon into leaves through the bulk flow of water. However, little is known about the dynamics and proportion of xylem‐transported CO2that is assimilated, vs simply lost to transpiration.Cut leaves ofPopulus deltoidesandBrassica napuswere placed in either KCl or one of three [NaH13CO3] solutions dissolved in water to simultaneously measure the assimilation and the efflux of xylem‐transported CO2exiting the leaf across light and CO2response curves in real‐time using a tunable diode laser absorption spectroscope.The rates of assimilation and efflux of xylem‐transported CO2increased with increasing xylem [13CO2*] and transpiration. Under saturating irradiance, rates of assimilation using xylem‐transported CO2accounted forc.2.5% of the total assimilation in both species in the highest [13CO2*].The majority of xylem‐transported CO2is assimilated, and efflux is small compared to respiration. Assimilation of xylem‐transported CO2comprises a small portion of total photosynthesis, but may be more important when CO2is limiting.
