The effects of gas phase O2concentration (1%, 20.5%, and 42.0%, v/v) on the quantum yield of net CO2fixation and fluorescence yield of chlorophyllaare examined in leaf tissue fromNicotiana tabacumat normal levels of CO2and 25 to 30°C. Detectable decreases in nonphotochemical quenching of absorbed excitation occurred at the higher O2levels relative to 1% O2when irradiance was nearly or fully saturating for photosynthesis. Photochemical quenching was increased by high O2levels only at saturating irradiance. Simultaneous measurements of CO2and H2O exchange and fluorescence yield permit estimation of partitioning of linear photosynthetic electron transport between net CO2fixation and O2-dependent, dissipative processes such as photorespiration as a function of leaf internal CO2concentration. Changes in thein vivoCO2:O2`specificity factor' (Ksp) with increasing irradiance are examined. The magnitudeKspwas found to decline from a value of 85 at moderate irradiance to 68 at very low light, and to 72 at saturating photon flux rates. The results are discussed in terms of the applicability of the ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase enzyme model to photosynthesisin vivo.
