Hatch-Slack pathway [′hach ′slak ′path‚wā]

(biochemistry)

A metabolic cycle involved in the non-light-requiring phase of photosynthesis in certain plants having specific metabolic and anatomical modifications in their mesophyll and bundle sheath cells which facilitate the temporary fixation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into four-carbon organic acid; these acids are next broken down to three-carbon organic acids plus CO₂in bundle sheath cells, where this freed CO₂is then fixed into carbohydrates in a normal Calvin cycle pathway.
