Abstract
In germinating seedlings of Lupinus albus, the initial respiratory quotient was found to be unity. After a drop to 0.76 at 9 hours, the value rose to 0.90 at 12 hours, and then fell to 0.64 at 60 hours. It is improbable that the fat oxidation system is the first to become activated.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
