You would need hundreds to thousands of plants to improve your home's air quality, so a few houseplants won't make much of a ...

New research, led by the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, suggests that plant respiration is a larger source of carbon emissions than previously thought, and warn that as the world warms, this may ...

A biological process in plants, thought to be useless and even wasteful, has significant benefits and should not be engineered out -- particularly in the face of looming climate change, says a team of ...

Plants, like people, breathe, and when it gets hotter, they breathe harder. One product of respiration is the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Thus, researchers predict that as the planet is warmed by ...

Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...

In a new study, scientists showcase the first-ever high-throughput method for measuring the rates at which plants respire. What impact might the approach have on tracking global climate and improving ...

American Journal of Botany, Vol. 36, No. 4 (Apr., 1949), pp. 368-378 (11 pages) The effect of several plant growth substances on the respiration of the tissues of various plants and plant parts was ...

Alternative oxidase (AOX) plays a pivotal role in plant mitochondrial respiration by providing a non-phosphorylating bypass to the cytochrome pathway. By transferring electrons directly from ubiquinol ...

1. The effect of NH+ 4 and NO- 3 on growth, nitrogen economy and respiration rates in two high arctic plant species differing in relative growth rate (RGR; Oxyrta digyna and Dryas integrifolia), were ...

New research suggests that plant respiration is a larger source of carbon emissions than previously thought, and warns that as the world warms, this may reduce the ability of Earth's land surface to ...
