ON THE RESPIRATORY QUOTIENT OF LUPINUS ALBUS AS A FUNCTION OF TEMPERATURE

Sumario: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.
