Abstract
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (EC 1.1.39) (RuBPCase) was quantified using polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in whole 9-d-old first leaves of 14 genotypes of Triticum, and cellular RuBPCase levels calculated. Diploids, tetraploids and hexaploids were analysed and it was confirmed that the RuBPCase level per cell is closely related to ploidy in wheat. Inter-genotypic variation in RuBPCase levels per cell and per leaf were surveyed. It was found that the interactions between leaf size, cell size and RuBPCase levels result in small variations in RuBPCase levels per unit leaf area between genotypes.Keywords
