Abstract
This paper discusses some aspects of the energy metabolism in nodulated roots. It is the aim to address the problem if the supply of photosynthates to the nodulated roots or the production of metabolic energy in respiratory pathways limits the rate of N2-fixation in nodulated roots of vegetative Pisum sativum plants. Our approach involves the determination of the activity and/or capacity of the electron transport pathways in pea roots. Hence some information is included on the non-phosphorylating CN-resistant electron transport pathway -the alternative path- and the regulation of electron transport via the phosphorylating cytochrome path. For further details, see Laties 1982, Lambers 1982 and Day, Lambers 1983.
