    Notes: Abstract Two pea cultivars (Pisum sativum L., cvs. Alaska and Progress No. 9) shown previously to differ with regard to the appearance of the cyanide-resistant (alternative) pathway of respiration in axis tissue, were found to show this same difference in mature leaf tissue and in epicotyl mitochondria. The possible relationship between dwarf growth form and lack of alternative respiration in cv. Progress No. 9 was tested in two ways. When dwarfism was alleviated in Progress No. 9 by application of exogenous gibberellin A1, no appearance of the alternative pathway was observed. In a survey of eight other dwarf pea cultivars, five were found to have an alternative pathway comparable to that shown by the tall cv. Alaska, while three lacked the pathway (cf. Progress No. 9). In reciprocal crosses between Alaska and Progress No. 9, the alternative pathway capacity of F1 progeny resembled that of the maternal parent. This pattern was maintained in all the F2 generation, indicating maternal inheritance of the trait. These data suggest that alternative respiration in pea is, to some extent, under the control of an organellar genome.

    Notes: In this study the question whether the alternative respiratory pathway acts as an electron bypass for the cytochrome pathway under conditions of growth on limited phosphorus in leaves of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) and Gliricidia sepium Walp was investigated. The oxygen isotope fractionation technique was used to assess the in vivo activities of the cytochrome and alternative respiratory pathways in the absence of added inhibitors. The response of respiration to low phosphorus supply varied among species. Growth at low phosphorus reduced cytochrome pathway activity in bean and tobacco. Alternative pathway activity increased only in bean leaves in response to low phosphorus and not in tobacco. In the case of G. sepium, cytochrome pathway activity remained unchanged whereas the alternative pathway activity increased with low nutritional phosphorus. At low phosphorus, alternative oxidase protein levels increased in the leaves of bean and G. sepium but not in tobacco, suggesting a dependence of alternative pathway activity on protein level. Alternative pathway activity was also not correlated with soluble carbohydrate concentration in bean or tobacco at any phosphorus level. These results show that the alternative pathway does not always act as an electron bypass in response to the downstream restriction of the cytochrome pathway imposed by low phosphorus supply. These results suggest that factors in addition to cellular carbohydrate level and adenylate control can act to regulate alternative pathway activity.

    Notes: Light effects on electron flow through the cyanide-resistant respiratory pathway, oxygen isotope fractionation and total respiration were studied in soybean (Glycine max L.) cotyledons. During the first 12 h of illumination there was an increase in both electron partitioning through the alternative pathway and oxygen isotope fractionation by the alternative oxidase. The latter probably indicates a change in the properties of the alternative oxidase. There was no engagement of the alternative oxidase in darkness and its fractionation was 27‰. In green cotyledons 60% of the respiration flux was through the alternative pathway and the alternative oxidase fractionation was 32‰. Exposing previously illuminated tissue to continuous darkness induced a decrease in the electron partitioning through the alternative pathway. However, this decrease was not directly linked with the low cellular sugar concentration resulting from the lack of light because 5 min of light every 12 h was sufficient to keep the alternative pathway engaged to the same extent as plants grown under control conditions.
