Chlorella, Chlorophyll-Protein Complexes, Polyacrylamide-Gel Electrophoresis, Standard Curves for Characterization of Chlorophyll Proteins Chlorophyll-protein complexes from thylakoids of the normal type and two mutants of Chlorella fusca were separated using sodium dodecyl sulfate acrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The properties of the chlorophyll-protein complexes of the three strains of...

Raphanus sativus L., /7-Carotene, Carotenoid Composition, Chlorophyll a-Proteins, LightHarvesting Chlorophyll, Localization of Carotenoids, Lutein, Neoxanthin The uneven distribution of carotenoids and chlorophylls between several chlorophyllcarotenoid-proteins isolated from radish chloroplasts by SDS-polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis is described. Lutein and neoxanthin are enriched in the lig...

This study was conducted to determine effect of water stress on chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence parameter in young `Dezful’ olive trees. Three irrigation regimes (40% ETcrop, 65% ETcrop and 100% ETcrop) were used. After irrigation treatments were applied, some of biochemical parameters including chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, chlorophyll fluorescence and also chlorophyll ...

using plant growth regulators at the stresses environment can improve plant growth and crop production. hence, in this research response of photosynthesis rate, chlorophyll, soluble sugar and flower dry weight of chamomile to methyl jasmonate under different salinity levels was studied. values of 0 (control), 75, 150, 225 and 300μm methyl jasmonate (meja) with salinity levels of 2, 6, 10 and 14...

Effect of gibberellic acid on marigold (Calendula Officinalis L.) was evaluated in a pot culture experiment. A factorial experiment based on completely randomized design including 12 treatments and four replications was carried out. Main factor was foliar application stages (first, second and third) and sub factor included different concentrations of GA3 (0, 50, 150 and 250 mg L...

The effects of floating macroalgae (250 g DW m(-2)) on photoautotrophic microbenthos were studied in a flow-through mesocosm with a parallel mesocosm without macroalgae serving as Control. Vertical microprofiles of O(2) at the sediment-water interface showed a immediate and complete suppression of photosynthetic activity of microphytobenthos (MPB) under the macroalgal canopy, resulting in a shi...

Populations of the same species can experience different responses to the environment throughout their distributional range as a result of spatial and temporal heterogeneity in habitat conditions. This highlights the importance of understanding the processes governing species distribution at local scales. However, research on species distribution often averages environmental covariates across l...

Coral reefs are facing rapidly changing environments, but implications for reef ecosystem functioning and important services, such as productivity, are difficult to predict. Comparative investigations on coral reefs that are naturally exposed to differing environmental settings can provide essential information in this context. One prevalent phenomenon regularly introducing alterations in water...

Major oil spills can have long-term impacts since oil pollution does not only result in acute mortality of marine organisms, but also affects productivity levels, predator-prey dynamics, and damages habitats that support marine communities. However, despite the conservation implications of oil accidents, the monitoring and assessment of its lasting impacts still remains a difficult and daunting...
