Summary The respiration, as measured by oxygen uptake, was higher for healthy tissue adjacent to soft rots of apple (var. Bramley) caused byPenicillium expansum Link andThom. andBotrytis cinerea Fr. and of potato tuber (var. Arran Banner) caused byErwinia aroideae Townsend, than tissue at a more distant site. The respiration of tissue adjacent to a physiological rot caused by bruising was not affected. It was concluded that there is diffusion of a substance(s) from the site of infection which causes an increase in the rate of respiration of the adjacent tissue.
