Why destarched plants are used in experiments on photosynthesis?

Short Answer

Solution

Destarched plants are used to ensure that any starch detected at the end of the experiment was synthesized during the experiment itself, rather than being stored from before. Keeping the plant in darkness for 24-48 hours forces it to consume all previously stored starch.
