Multimodal spectroscopic imaging methods such as Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MALDI MSI), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy were used to monitor the changes in distribution and to determine semi quantitatively selected metabolites involved in nitrogen fixation in pea root nodules. These approaches were used to evaluate the effectiveness of nitrogen fixation by pea plants treated with biofertilizer preparations containing Nod factors. To assess the effectiveness of biofertilizer, the fresh and dry masses of plants were determined. The biofertilizer was shown to be effective in enhancing the growth of the pea plants. In case of metabolic changes, the biofertilizer caused a change in the apparent distribution of the leghaemoglobin from the edges of the nodule to its centre (the active zone of nodule). Moreover, the enhanced nitrogen fixation and presumably the accelerated maturation form of the nodules were observed with the use of a biofertilizer.

The effects of preillumination with monochromatic red or blue light on the subsequent dark 14CO2-fixation in Chlorella cells were studied under aerobic as well as anaerobic conditions. When the cell suspension was made aerobic by bubbling air (CO2-free) throughout the periods of preillumination and the following dark 14CO2-fixation, the initial fixation product was mainly PGA. The radioactive carbon first incorporated in PGA was transferred mostly to aspartate during the later periods of dark 14CO2-fixation. The rate of 14C-incorporation into aspartate after preillumination with blue light was 2 to 3 times as high as that observed after red-light pretreatment. The observations support our previous inference that the activity of PEP carboxylase in Chlorella cells is stimulated by preillumination with blue light. When nitrogen gas was used during preillumination and the subsequent dark fixation, the radioactivity of 14C incorporated during the initial enhanced 14CO2-fixation was eventually transferred to alanine and lactate. The increase in radioactivity of alanine and lactate was more pronounced during dark fixation after preillumination with red light than after preillumination with blue light.

The influence of day length, light quality, temperature, drought, and oxygen concentration on gas exchange of Kalanchoe daigremontiana was investigated. The ratio of photosynthesis to dark CO2 fixation with plants under a long-day and short-warm-night regime was 2.0 and under a short-day and long-cool-night regime, 0.2. With drought conditions this value may be less than 0.02. Under low oxygen concentrations high photosynthetic rates of about 20 mg CO2 dm−2 h−1 were observed with a compensation point of about 20 ppm. Restricting CO2 supply to dark periods produced plants with a δ13C value of −10.6‰. Restricting CO2 supply to light periods gave a δ13C value of −25.9‰, whereas no control of CO2 gave δ13C values of −15‰. The data obtained suggest that variations in δ13C values in Kalanchoe result from changes in the proportion of light and dark CO2 fixation.Far-red light and oxygen promoted the release of CO2 from Kalanchoe after the plants had undergone a period of dark CO2 fixation. Maximum release occurred within about 1 h. The effect could be reversed by removal of either far-red light or oxygen. Decreases in the acidity of the plants accompanied CO2 release, which indicated that decarboxylation of a C4 acid was the source of the CO2.
