Factors Influencing the Development of Cyanide-resistant Respiration in Potato Tissue

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Ethylene, cyanide gas, and volatalized ethanol, acetaldehyde, and acetic acid were applied in a continuous flow to whole potato tubers. Freshly cut slices were obtained periodically during the treatment, and showed a progressive development of a cyanide-resistant respiration. The application of the employed volatiles in 100% O2 accelerated the onset and the magnitude of the cyanide-resistant respiration.
