Carbon dioxide production by crowns of broccoli cv. Emperor and fruits of cucumber cv. Tyria was measured continuously at 2 temperatures (10 and 20 deg C) and 6 different oxygen concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 and 21%) during 24 h. Carbon dioxide production by cucumber and broccoli decreased as the oxygen concentration of the atmosphere decreased to 0.5%. At 0% oxygen, carbon dioxide production of cucumber increased because of anaerobic respiration, while that of broccoli maintained the same carbon dioxide level as that in 0.5% oxygen.
