“…Themes included the C 4 and Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) cycles of CO 2 assimilation (106-109, 112, 114, 128), the C 2 and N cycles of photorespiration (15,124,157,178), and photoinhibition in relation to C and N metabolism, touching on the D1 protein cycle during photoinactivation and recovery of photosystem II (PSII) (38,123,149) and, currently, on two potentially photoprotective xanthophyll cycles (33,39,62,(90)(91)(92)(93). Access to phytotrons in Canberra; Madison, Wisconsin; Reno, Nevada; and Durham, North Carolina, has been important, and we shared a unique opportunity to explore some of these processes in the larger context of carbon cycling in model ecosystems in the controlled environments of B2L (117).…”
