The Gas Exchange of Flax Seeds in Relation to Temperature

Physiological Factors Affecting Composition of Soybeans: II. Response of Oil and Other Constituents of Soybeans to Temperature Under Controlled Conditions1

“…• A maximum intensity of oil synthesis about 25 days after flowering in maturing flax seed has been reported by Halvorsen ( 6) in studies on the exchange of C0 2 and 0 2 . At that time, the respiratory quotient (ratio of C0 2 given off to 0 2 taken up) was near maximum, as was oxygen uptake.…”

Experiments on the Effects of Neutron‐irradiation on the Respiration of Barley Seeds I. Effects on Growth and Oxygen‐uptake in Barley Seedlings of Different Varieties

“…A modified Warlmrg con.stant-vohime respirometer was used -as in the X-ray experiment carried out by Mikaelsen and Halvorsen (1953). The apparatus and technique are described in greater detail elsewhere (Halvorsen, 1955). Six or seven days after germination the length of the seedlings exceeded that of the respirometer flasks, and the seedlings Iiad to be bent gently when placed in tbe flasks.…”
