Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Flowering, succulence, dark fixation, organic acid formation and leaf thickening increased with more short-day treatments.
- Observation These processes occurred under carbon dioxide-free air with 9-hour photoperiods.
- Observation Carbon dioxide dark fixation remained at the low long-day level after five weeks in carbon dioxide-free air.
- Observation Organic acid formation remained at the low long-day level after five weeks in carbon dioxide-free air.
- Mechanism Carbon dioxide dark fixation and organic acid formation appeared interrelated and apparently used respiratory carbon dioxide in carbon dioxide-free air.
- Mechanism Flowering did not control development of succulence, organic acid formation or dark-fixation capacity.
- Mechanism Dark fixation and organic acid formation did not control flowering and occurred in vegetative plants with little succulence.
