| Item Description: |
The two most obvious requirements for cell maintenance and growth are a source of energy and a source of carbon skeletons for higher plants. Both the energy and carbon skeletons are supplied by the reactions of the Tricarboxylic Acid cycle. In any plant tissue, the amount of acid varies with phase of development and environmental conditions. The limits of variation are the types of acid accumulated are genetically controlled.
Respiration represents largely the metabolism of Tricarboxylic Organic Acids in a series of biochemical reactions: Accumulating mineral ions; Oxidation of food occurring in living cells; Synthesizing fats; Proteins, sugars, and other compounds; Maintenance of protoplasmic structure; cell division. Organic acids that serve as respiratory intermediates are derived from carbohydrates occupying a metabolic crossroads between fats, protein, and carbohydrates.
Plant roots secrete carbon dioxide gas, carbonic acids, and organic acid into the soil where carbon dioxide gas is absorbed by the surrounding plant acids. The combination of gas and acids are then transported to the aerial parts of the plants, which contributes materially to the total carbon dioxide assimilation of plants. The relationship between acid metabolism, carbon dioxide fixation, and ion uptake by roots runs parallel with total photosynthetic assimilation. Many plant tissues can metabolically fix carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in a non-photosynthetic process involving organic acids, while carbon dioxide fixation in leaves involve organic acids. Apply 1 tablespoon per gallon of water.
In summary, Dr. Thomas' Necessary Plant Energy overwhelmingly aids in:
- Mineral metabolism
- Nitrogen metabolism
- Energy to drive metabolic processes
- Fat metabolism
- Carbohydrate metabolism
- Amino acid metabolism
- Carbon dioxide fixation
- Overall plant growth
