The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between Photorespiration and True Respiration. 1. Effect of O2 Concentration: The most obvious difference between true respiration and photorespiration is the effect of oxygen concentration on the rate of two processes. In most tissues true respiration is saturated at oxygen concentration of 2-3% and and beyond this percentage virtually no increase [...]
The following points highlight the seven main factors affected by parasites. The factors are: 1. Respiration 2. Photosynthesis 3. Nitrogen Metabolism 4. Translocation 5. Growth Substances 6. Responses to Environments 7. Host-Parasite Interaction. Factor # 1. Respiration: As a consequence of infection, the respiration increases many times in the host tissue. This increase may be due to parasite tissue as [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Definition of Photorespiration 2. Measurement of Photorespiration 3. Metabolism 4. Inhibition of Photorespiration and the Increase in Yield. Definition of Photorespiration: Photorespiration is a process or a group of processes by which certain plants release CO2 in the light. The phenomenon can be demonstrated readily if a photorespiring plant is illuminated in [...]
