Rubisco Content and Specific Activity in Barley (Hordeum vulgareL.)

Seven barley varieties, differing widely in their geographic origin, were analysed at the seedling stage under controlled conditions for the following traits: Soluble leaf protein content, Rubisco content, Total carboxylase activity, as well as for combinations of these basic characteristics: relative Rubisco concentration, relative carboxylase activity, and specific carboxylase activity of the enzyme
