Plant Respiration: Metabolic Fluxes and Carbon Balance

There are currently intense efforts devoted to understand plant respiration (from genes toecosystems) and its regulatory mechanisms; Thus, in addition tomanipulating photosynthesis to increase plant biomass production, minimization ofrespiratory loss should be considered in plant science and engineering.

In prezent, exista eforturi intense dedicate intelegerii respiratiei plantelor (de la gene la ecosisteme) si a mecanismelor sale de reglare; Astfel, pe langa manipularea fotosintezei pentru cresterea productiei de biomasa a plantelor, minimizarea pierderilor respiratorii ar trebui luata in considerare in stiinta si ingineria plantelor.
