Studies on cyanide resistance in intact organs included ripening of bananas under hypobaric conditions; the dependence of ethylene responsiveness on the cyanide-insensitive, or alternate path of respiration; and the origin of ripening-related ethylene. Studies on the behavior of tissue slices in relation to cyanide resistance include lipid breakdown and synthesis in potato slices; wound-induced respiration in potato tubers; cyanide insensitive respiration as a superoxide generating electron transport path; and lipid acyl-hydrolases of potato. Studies on mitochondrial behavior included cyanide resistance in mitochondria; enzyme distribution in isolated mitochondria; ATP-ase activity in potato mitochondria; and NADH-linked fumarate reduction.
