Full Description
Originally published in 1954, this collection of the posthumous papers of the eminent plant physiologist Frederick Frost Blackman includes six papers that were unpublished at the time of his death, all of which address the topic of plant respiration. The data was collected over the course of one year from experiments performed on the effect of oxygen on the respiration of apples, and the text begins with an introduction by the noted botanist George Edward Briggs. This book will be of value to anyone interested in Blackman's work or in the history of botany and plant physiology.
Contents
Preface; 1. The respiration of a population of senescent ripening apples; 2. The respiration of apples in nitrogen and its relation to respiration in air; 3. Formulation of a catalytic system for the respiration of apples and its relation to oxygen; 4. Formulation of the effects of low oxygen supply upon carbon dioxide production in apples; 5. The analysis of respiratory metabolism by the intensive study of 'air ratios'; 6. The metabolic interpretation of the observed rates of carbon dioxide production; 7. Examination of the physiological determinants of carbon dioxide production by apples in low concentrations of oxygen; 8. The physiological determinants of carbon dioxide production by apples in low concentrations of oxygen; 9. The interaction of factors controlling respiration and fermentation in the higher plants; Appendix I. Records of the primary data analysed in the nine papers; Appendix II. List of names of research students of F. F. Blackman.
