On the Respiratory Quotient of Lupinus Albus as a Function of Temperature
نویسنده
چکیده
The temperature characteristics for the oxygen consumption and CO(2)-production of the germinating seeds of Lupinus albus were previously found to be different. It was predicted qualitatively that the respiratory quotient of the seed should be a function of temperature. A quantitative treatment is presented here, relating the change of the respiratory quotient with temperature and the temperature characteristics. Experimental results agree satisfactorily with the calculated value.

The Respiratory Quotient of Seedlings of Lupinus Albus during the Early Stages of Germination
In germinating seedlings of Lupinus albus, the initial respiratory quotient was found to be unity. After a drop to 0.76 at 9 hours, the value rose to 0.90 at 12 hours, and then fell to 0.64 at 60 hours. It is improbable that the fat oxidation system is the first to become activated.
متن کاملThe Effects of Co and Light on the Oxygen Consumption and on the Production of Co2 by Germinating Seeds of Lupinus Albus
The consumption of oxygen by germinating seeds of Lupinus albus can be reversibly inhibited by CO to a maximum extent of 36 per cent with a mixture of 24 per cent O(2) and 76 per cent CO at 18 degrees , in darkness. This inhibition is completely abolished when the seed is illuminated. On returning to air, after a period in the CO-O(2) mixture, the rate of oxygen consumption is accelerated to as...
متن کاملTemperature Characteristics for the Production of Co2 by Germinating Seeds of Lupinus Albus and Zea Mays
The rates of production of CO(2) by germinating seeds of Lupinus albus and Zea mays were studied between temperatures 12.5 degrees and 25 degrees C. with the HCl-Ba(OH)(2) titration method. The temperature characteristics found are different from those previously obtained for the oxygen consumption of the same seeds germinated in the same manner. For Lupinus, the temperature characteristics abo...
