Lactate as well as ethanol is formed in seeds of soybean, maize, pea, bean, lentil and broad-bean in the course of germination during the so-called natural anaerobiosis. After 0 to 30 h of germination a concentration peak of lactate appears. Maximum in ethanol content is found after 40 h. The amount of ethanol is higher big more than one order of magnitude as compared to the amount of lactate. Both products of anaerobiosis occur in germinating seeds irrespective of the type of reserve…

Comparative study of plant alcohol dehydrogenases
TLDR
Plant alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) catalyze the oxidation of ethanol as well as the reduction of acetaldehyde, and the degree of inhibition brought about by the inhibitors studied differs from plant to plant but the inhibition type is the same.
The variations in isoenzyme patterns of alcohol dehydrogenase and their substrate specificity in germinating pea seeds
In pea alcohol dehydrogenase (PADH) four isoenzymes were detected with the same mobility in one-and two-day germinating seeds; in three-and four-day seedlings the isoenzyme fastest moving towards the…
The effect of metals on isolated pea pyruvate decarboxylase
Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) was prepared from four-day-old pea seedlings by a procedure which involves extraction of plant material with a phosphate buffer, fractionation of the extract with…

TLDR
The present research suggests that GABA, accumulated in certain stress conditions, supplies organic acids such as succinate to the TCA cycle.

Occurrence of ethanol in pea plants in the course of growth under normal and anaerobic conditions
TLDR
Ethylalcohol can be formed by the vegetative organs themselves, as proved by the increase of this metabolite in plants deprived of reserve organs; in addition, however, it is evidently transported into them from reserve parts.
The Appearance of Lactic Acid in Phaseolus Seeds Germinating under Wet Conditions
Under normal conditions of germination, there is never much lactate in bean cotyledons, but when beans are germinated under wet conditions lactate accumu lates for about 30 h and then slowly…
The isolation, properties, and physiological role of lactic dehydrogenase from soybean cotyledons
TLDR
In its response to the use of coenzyme analogues and to heat treatment it resembled closely the L-lactic dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus plantarum, and its responses to acrylamide gel electrophoresis and to sulfhydryl group inhibitors were comparable to those of similar enzymes from animal sources.

TLDR
It is concluded that oxaloacetate, required for the incorporation of ethanol into citrate, arises mainly from the transamination of aspartate and the fixation of carbon dioxide.

TLDR
While lactic acid accumulated progressively under anaerobic conditions, the content of alcohol did not begin to increase until after about 7 days, and subsequently the rate of accumulation of lactic Acid decreased, and that of alcohol increased.

Activation and Inactivation of Alcohol Dehydrogenase in Germinating Pea Cotyledons
TLDR
The alcohol dehydrogenase activity in ungerminated pea seeds was activated by treatment with sodium lauryl sulphate, sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate, dithiothreitol, 2-mercaptoethanol and NADH and the inhibitory effect caused by the extract from 7 day-old cotyledons was diminished markedly.
Influence of light and darkness on the concentration of lactic, glycolic, succinic, malic and citric acid in pea plants
TLDR
Concentration changes of the individual acids in the course of growth indicate that the citrate cycle is blocked in the cotyledons of plants grown in light in the period around the 15th day of growth, probably at the site of succinic dehydrogenase.

TLDR
On transfer from the anaerobic to the aerobic state there was an increase in the rate of CO2 production above the normal aerobic level, followed by a fall towards this level, and associated with this so-called after-effect there was a rapid disappearance of the lactic acid which had accumulated during the period in nitrogen.

TLDR
The doubts expressed by Choudhury (1939) and Boswell & Whiting (1940), based solely on observations of CO2 output, as to the existence of a Pasteur effect in potatoes are seen to be unjustified.
