Glycolate and glyoxylate stimulation of growth in Lemna gibba [biomass production, photorespiration]
1980
Tillberg, E. (Stockholm Univ. (Sweden). Botanical Inst.)
A 10 to 20% stimulation of growth in Lemna gibba L. G3 occurred following the addition of 0.5 to 3 mM glycolate or glyoxylate although concentrations of 5 mM or higher were inhibitory. Glyoxylate gave a higher stimulation than glycolate. The stimulating effect on growth was obtained in media with or without 2% added sucrose. A higher stimulation was obtained when the plants were cultivated in open flasks in comparison to cultivation in flasks plugged with cellulose stoppers, which presumably retarded gas exchange
