AWhat changed
Bassham, Benson and colleagues traced radioactive carbon through photosynthetic intermediates to explain regeneration of the carbon-dioxide acceptor in a cyclic pathway.
Scientific scope
Bassham, Benson and colleagues traced radioactive carbon through photosynthetic intermediates to explain regeneration of the carbon-dioxide acceptor in a cyclic pathway. Scope limitation: This entry binds one six-author paper and its earlier laboratory report. It does not attribute all photosynthesis research to Calvin alone or equate pathway identification with later crop-yield improvements.
Evidence
Assessment uses the catalogue-linked source evidence for the stated contribution. This entry binds one six-author paper and its earlier laboratory report. It does not attribute all photosynthesis research to Calvin alone or equate pathway identification with later crop-yield improvements.
