- Intervention effect Potato callus fresh weight decreased upon transfer to mannitol medium
- Intervention effect Potato callus dry weight increased upon transfer to mannitol medium
- Intervention effect Osmolarity of the intracellular fluid of potato callus increased upon transfer to mannitol medium
- Mechanism Mannitol is probably taken up from the medium until tissue osmolarity equals that of the medium
- Intervention effect Respiration of potato callus increased upon transfer to medium with extra mannitol, especially per fresh weight
- Intervention effect Participation of the alternative pathway in uninhibited respiration of potato callus rose from about 10% to 90% upon transfer
- Association Increase in respiration is partly correlated with decrease in fresh weight upon transfer
- Intervention effect Capacities of the cytochrome and alternative pathway declined per disc upon transfer
- Intervention effect Total respiration per disc of potato callus significantly increased upon transfer
- Mechanism Total respiration per disc increased due to increased participation of the alternative pathway
- Intervention effect ATP production per disc was almost unchanged before and after transfer
- Mechanism The alternative pathway may function as a reserve capacity in potato callus when cytochrome pathway ATP production is impaired
- Intervention effect Growth of potato callus became negligible on medium with 0.5 M mannitol after osmotic adaptation
- Observation Potato callus retained its viability after osmotic adaptation on 0.5 M mannitol
