“…This is consistent with previous reports that higher than 3% (v/v) methanol is toxic to these cells, possibly due to high osmotic pressure [12,29,30] and fatty acids have been isolated from outside of dead cells [28,30,31]. Furthermore, even at optimal methanol concentrations, the cells may need a period of time to adapt to this carbon source, as cell growth was relatively slow initially and then increased after 10 days.…”

“…Constraints faced in potato cultivation in the plains of the medium among others, temperature, and high light intensity causes high photorespiration (high CO 2 release) so that the lower rate of photosynthesis causes low production, as well as pests and diseases, plant pest organisms. The high photorespiration, causing wasteful/release of CO 2 from plants, reduces the diffusion of CO 2 into the leaf and further decrease the rate of photosynthesis [18]. Potato planted on the lower altitudes would produce the smaller tubers.…”

“…Indeed, even the lowest possible ethanol concentration reduced growth in pollinated fruits, possibly due to toxic effects during fertilization, but significantly enhanced unpollinated ovary growth (data not shown). In this respect, it has been reported that alcohols exert some positive effect on vegetative growth although the precise mechanism remains controversial (Rowe et al 1994;McGiffen and Manthey 1996).…”
