Fractionation of carbon isotopes in oxygenic photosynthesis product 3-phosphoglycerate is depleted in C due to the kinetic isotope effect of the above reaction. The overall C fractionation for C3 photosynthesis ranges between -20 to -37‰. The wide range of variation in delta values expressed in C3 plants is modulated by the stomatal conductance, or the rate of CO entering, or water vapor exiting, the small pores in the epidermis of a leaf. The δC of C3 plants depends on the relationship between stomatal conductance and photosynthetic rate, which is a good proxy of water use efficiency in the leaf. C3 plants with high water-use efficiency tend to
What You Need (The Twilight Zone) What You Need (The Twilight Zone) "What You Need" is episode 12 of the American television anthology series "The Twilight Zone". It is based on the short story of the same name by Lewis Padgett (Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore). Pedott , a peddler, has the curious ability to give people exactly what they need before they need it. He enters a coffee shop where he first gives a woman a vial of cleaner. Then he gives a down-on-his-luck ex-baseball player a bus ticket to Scranton, Pennsylvania. Moments later, the ball player receives a phone call at the cafe
