Respiration of Potato Tubers After Injury

Mechanical Stimulation and Respiration Rate in the Cherry Laurel

“…Since the work of Richards very httle has appeared on the subject. Lutman (1926) in America found that he could repeat Richards' experiments, but his technique was so inferior to that of Richards that nothing of importance comes from his work. He obtained indications of a rise in fhe reducing sugar content of his tubers after repeated cutting.…”

The Effects of X-Rays on Growth and Respiration of Wheat Seedlings

“…It is interesting to note in this connection that many investigators have reported a temporary increase in respiratory activity, often accompanied by a rise in temperature, following injury of plant parts by wounding. Thus Richards (1896, 1897), Magness (1920), Johnstone (1925), Lutman (1926), and Coleman, Rothgeb, and Fellows (1928) are among those who have found a marked increase in the evolution of carbon dioxide from injured tissues.…”

Respiration and Nitrogen Metabolism of Whole and Sliced Radish Roots with Reference to the Effect of Alternation of Air and Nitrogen Atmospheres

“…HOPKINS (15) showed that wounding caused disappearance of starch and increase in sugar content; the latter resulted in increase of respiration activity. LUTMAN (18), on the other hand, was of the opinion that the increase in sugar concentration had no relation with the increase in respiration of wounded tissues.…”

“…It has long been known that wounded plants respire more intensely than intact ones (3,5,6,13,14,17,18,22,23,29,30,31,32).…”
