Shifting roles of hetero-trophy and
autotrophy in coral energetics under varying turbidity.
Remobilization of seed phosphorus reserves and their role in attaining phosphorus
autotrophy in maize (Zea mays L.).
Accounting for littoral primary production by periphyton shifts a highly humic boreal lake towards net
autotrophy. Freshwater Biol., 61, 265-276.

However, plantlets produced from in vitro cultures have to switch from heterotrophy to
autotrophy and possess abnormal anatomical and physiological characteristics, such as under developed leaf cuticle and lower stomatal density, which necessitates acclimatization in order for them to cope with edaphoclimatic conditions (BARBOZA et al., 2006).
Shifting roles of heterotrophy and
autotrophy in coral energetics under varying turbidity.
Consequently, the pelagic NPP showed net heterotrophy in St 02 and St 15, net
autotrophy in St 30 and St 60, and values next to equilibrium in St 90 and St 120 (Tukey-Kramer, p<0.05; Figure 4).
(19) Fungi could no longer produce their own food, an ability called
autotrophy. Thus the fungus was a degenerate, a shameful criminal organism that turned to heterotrophy and forfeited its self-sufficiency within the solar economy.
During their evolution, 2% of angiosperms have lost their
autotrophy and become parasites of other higher plants called by host plant [19].
