Perspectives in Experimental Botany. Respiratory costs and rate of protein turnover in the roots of a fast-growing (Dactylis glomerata L.) and a slow-growing (Festuca ovina L.) grass species

Protein turnover is generally regarded as one of the most important maintenance processes in plants in terms of energy requirements. In this study, the contribution of protein turnover to the respiratory costs for maintenance in the roots of two grass species, the fast-growing Dactylis glomerata L....

Description
Summary:Protein turnover is generally regarded as one of the most important maintenance processes in plants in terms of energy requirements. In this study, the contribution of protein turnover to the respiratory costs for maintenance in the roots of two grass species, the fast-growing Dactylis glomerata L. and the slow-growing Festuca ovina L., is evaluated. Plants were grown under controlled-environment conditions in a nutrient solution to which
