  • Compartmentation of reactions and reactants plays a crucial role.
  • Enzyme concentration, NAD/NADP ratios, and ADP availability are key regulatory factors.
  • Glycolysis pacemaker reactions and allosteric control at branch points are significant.

    • Conclusions:

    • Plant respiration is tightly regulated through multiple interconnected mechanisms.
    • Understanding these controls is vital for comprehending plant metabolic function and adaptation.
