Abstract

It is now well established that the source of oxygen in photosynthesis is water. The earliest suggestion previously known to us had come from René Bernard Wurmser (1930). Here, we highlight an earlier report by Monsieur De Fourcroy (1787), who had already discussed the broad outlines of such a hypothesis in a book on Chemistry written for women. We present here a free translation of a passage from this book, with the original text in French as an Appendix.

摘要

现在已经充分证实，光合作用中氧气的来源是水。我们所知最早的相关推测来自勒内·伯纳德·乌尔姆泽（1930年）。在此，我们着重介绍德富尔克罗伊先生（1787年）更早的一份报告，他在一本为女性撰写的化学著作中已经讨论了这一假说的大致轮廓。我们在此呈现这本书中一段文字的意译，并将法语原文作为附录。
