What is the Q10 effect? What does it have to do with temperature and respiration?

What will be an ideal response?


The Q10 effect is defined as the speed by which any chemical reaction rate increases or decreases when
subjected to a 10oC temperature change. Respiration rates are greatly influenced by temperature, both
the temperature roots experience in the soil environment and leaves in the open air. When the
temperature rises, respiration rates are faster and the opposite is true; cooler temperatures slow
respiration rates. This does not occur in a linear fashion, however. Even small temperature changes
can double or triple respiration rates and this can have immense effects on the plant growth, plant
performance, and overall looks.
