Abstract
The measurements of respiration here reported have been made as a part of a general study of the growth of tomato fruits. The fruits used have partly come from plants grown in the open during the regular growing season and partly from plants grown in the greenhouse during the winter. The plants grown in the greenhouse have been supplied with additional light during the period of shortest days. The fruits from these plants have been normal in all respects so that comparisons can be made between fruits grown out of doors and indoors. The experiments have been conducted and the amount of carbon dioxide determined as reported by Hover and Gustafson in another paper (6), except that the length of time of each experiment has been much shorter. In all of the experiments cited only one fruit was used in each container, so that the figures given are not averages for several fruits, but rather values for individual fruits. In all of these experiments the fruits were picked from the vines about a half hour to an hour before the experiment was started.
