Carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity in wheat leaves changed upon leaf dehydration: it decreased at mild stress (relative water content, RWC, 81 %), but increased at severe water stress (RWC 74 %). Phosphoenopyruvate carboxylase activity was not significantly affected by these stresses.

Additional key words: leaf dehydration; phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase; Triticum aestivum
