The Effects of Water Deficits on Slices of Beetroot and Potato Tissue:3

posted on 2023-06-08, 11:31 authored by Tim Flowers
Evidence of some effects of water deficit on respiratory metabolism is presented. Oxygen uptake by aged potato tuber discs became increasingly resistant to the effect of 0.05 M malonate with increasing water deficit, while there was an increasing retardation of oxygen uptake by dinitrophenol at 10-4 M. The same range of water deficit suppressed the evolution of 14CO2 from labelled acetate, succinate, and glucose, indicating a progressive disorganization of the Krebs cycle.
