Abstract

Treating intact white potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber with ethylene in air or O2 made it possible to obtain freshly cut slices which exhibit cyanide-resistant respiration. The cyanide-resistant path requires induction in whole tubers. The data also indicate that high O2 concentration is necessary for the full development of cyanide-resistant respiration.
