"...hexose?glucose cycling consumes
between 344 and 688 nmol ATP/h/embryo, which represents 7–14% of the ATP produced. Therefore, developing
sunflower embryos utilize a maximum of 20% of the
ATP produced in substrate cycles, which is in agreement
with the high carbon conversion efficiency that [researchers]
measured and much lower than levels of 45–70% that have
been reported for other plant heterotrophic tissues" |
