Respiration and crop productivity

摘要: Respiration is a large and important component of the carbon economy crops. There are already several good books dealing with biochemistry physiol ogy plant respiration, but there none I know that devoted to rela tionship between respiration crop productivity, although this relationship more frequently being studied both experiment simulation. Crop physiology do cover course, treatment limited. The purpose present book fill void in literature. approach taken here use popular two-component functional model whereby divided growth maintenance components. Mter thoroughly reviewing literature, came conclusion at most useful means considering as quantitative compo nent crop's economy. This distinction used frame work for describing assessing its role productivity. Discussions critiques serve primarily fully understanding studying respiration. It assumed reader familiar fundamentals biochemistry. research worker should find an up-to-date summary not, however, simple review existing data."
