A plant in your garden avoids photorespiratory losses, has improved water use efficiency, shows high rates of photosynthesis at high temperatures and has improved the efficiency of nitrogen utilisation. In which of the following physiological groups would you assign this plant?
Nitrogen fixer
C3
C4
CAM
Explanation:
C4 plants like Maize and sugarcane can fix CO2 at high temperature and high intensity of light. Its productivity is high at higher intensity. Photorespiration is absent in these plants.
