Abstract
⺠Photorespiration is not a wasteful process but essential to all oxygenic autotrophs. ⺠Photorespiratory metabolism allows Rubisco to drive the global carbon cycle. ⺠Its origin dates back to the invention of oxygenic photosynthesis in cyanobacteria. ⺠Plant photorespiration comprises enzymes of cyanobacterial and proteobacterial origin. ⺠Photorespiration is multiply connected to central metabolism.
