title: Effects of illumination and glycollate oxidation in promoting glyoxylate decarboxylation by pea leaf protoplasts.
abstract: During glycollate oxidation, glyoxylate was decarboxylated by pea leaf protoplasts. The characteristics of the reaction were similar to those of the reaction in leaf extracts (Walton, 1982, Planta 155, 218-224). Glyoxylate decarboxylation was not promoted by illumination of the protoplasts.
