Abstract
Maintenance and constructive respiration were examined in leaves, stems and roots of sunflower seedlings and in detached leaves of zinnia. Maintenance and constructive respiratory coefficients in sunflower leaves were smaller than those in stems and roots, and zinnia leaves. It was suggested that matter accumulation influenced maintenance respiratory coefficient.
