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 ...

Lower respiratory costs were hypothesized as providing an additional benefit in C4 plants compared to C3 plants due to less investment in proteins in C4 leaves. Therefore, photosynthesis and dark ...

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 ...

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

Background and aims An adequate sampling strategy for the estimation of soil respiration depends on spatial heterogeneity in soil and plant characteristics. The objective of this work was the ...
