Its broad influence on plant metabolism is related to such key operations as metabolite transport, enzyme regulation and carbohydrate metabolism in general. This review discusses these topics with special emphasis on the role assigned to this ubiquitous anion within the C4 pathway of photosynthesis. Document Type: Review Language: English
