Growth and respiration in cotton bolls.
Abstract
Data are given on measured and calculated values for dry weight and specific respiration rate of cotton bolls; it was estimated that the efficiency of conversion of substrate/photosynthate into plant DM was 0.74 ± 0.10 g DM/g substrate, and that the daily specific maintenance respiration rate was 0.006 ± 0.010 g/g plant DM.
