Short summary
Plants are known as a source of methane (CH4), but the biochemical mechanisms involved in CH4 formation are still unknown. Employing 13C-labelled methionine clearly identified the sulfur-bound methyl group of methionine as a carbon precursor of CH4 released from lavender plants. When relating CH4 emission rates to dark respiration of intact plants, we found a molar CH4:CO2 emission ratio of 2.0 ±1.1 (pmol:µmol). After physical stress CH4 release rates greatly increased.
Plants are known as a source of methane (CH4), but the biochemical mechanisms involved in CH4...
