Abstract
Experiments with lettuce seeds during the first hours of imbibition showed that oxygen is necessary to sustain high adenine nucleotide ratios and consequently, energy charge values are higher than 0.8 as is usually the case in normally metabolizing tissues.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
