チューリップ球根の貯蔵中の呼吸について

1) Respiration of thlip bulbs during storage decreased gradually with the falling of storage temnperature（30゜, 25゜, and 20℃).

3) Before entering low temperature storeroom, tulip bulbs showed 2270 Kcal/t 24hr of respiratory heat.
Under constant temperature of 20℃, tulip bulbs showed 1375～2350 Kcal/t 24hr.
