Popis: The rate of respiration of spruce needles was affected by the level of foliar glutathione. At 37 degrees C the rate of respiration increased with increasing water-soluble sulfhydryl content up to 1.3 micromol g(-1) fresh weight. Higher thiol concentrations inhibited the rate of respiration. At 25 degrees C no relationship was observed between glutathione content and rate of respiration. It was concluded that the mechanism by which SO(2) affects plants is temperature dependent.
