Description for Plant Respiration: From Cell to Ecosystem hardcover. Respiration in plants, as in all living organisms, is essential to provide metabolic energy and carbon skeletons for growth and maintenance. As such, respiration is an essential component of a plant's carbon budget. This book links respiration, including alternative oxidase activity, to plant functioning in different environments. Editor(s): Lambers, Hans; Ribas-Carbo, Miquel (Universitat de les Illes Balears). Series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration. Num Pages: 270 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 279 x 210 x 17. Weight in Grams: 698.

Respiration in plants, as in all living organisms, is essential to provide metabolic energy and carbon skeletons for growth and maintenance. As such, respiration is an essential component of a plant’s carbon budget. Depending on species and environmental conditions, it consumes 25-75% of all the carbohydrates produced in photosynthesis – even more at extremely slow growth rates. Respiration in plants can also proceed in a manner that produces neither metabolic energy nor carbon skeletons, but heat. This type of respiration involves the cyanide-resistant, alternative oxidase; it is unique to plants, and resides in the mitochondria. The activity of this alternative ... Read more
