Abstract
Under the experimental procedure used in these researches it was found that wheat, when kept at 25 °C. in atmospheres of relative humidities between approximately 92 and 100%, showed a continuously accelerating rate of carbon dioxide output. This acceleration of rate increased as the relative humidity of the surrounding air was increased and was more pronounced in wheat from which the germs had been removed than in undamaged wheat. Where unlimited absorption of water and germination of the wheat are prevented, the carbon dioxide production by the grain is due almost entirely to the respiration of micro-organisms that infect it.
