in order to study the effect of iron chelate (fe-eddha) on some biochemical characteristic of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) under two irrigation regimes, a field experiment was set up a split-plot based on randomized block design with four replication in 2011 in a research field of the faculty of agriculture at shahed university. in this study the main plots consisted of two levels of irr...

The preceding paper (2) has described some of the changes that occur in the photosynthetic activity of the mutant strain y-2 of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardi accompanying changes in chlorophyll content. These results indicated that photosynthetic activity might be regulated by a mechanism which is related to either a critical chlorophyll content or structural configuration ...

We present an empirical application of multispectral laser scanning for monitoring the seasonal and spatial changes in pine chlorophyll (a+ b) content and upscaling the accurate leaf-level chlorophyll measurements into branch and tree level. The results show the capability of the new instrument for monitoring the changes in the shape and physiology of tree canopy: the spectral indices retrieved...

determination of chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence has the potential needed to analyze the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants against environmental stresses, especially salinity, and its simplicity facilitates stress evaluation. in order to study the response of different photosynthetic characters to salinity stress at different sugar beet growth stages, two separate experime...

abstract many uses of landscape and important roll of ground covers aspect turfgrasses caused extensive of this plant in the cities. this study focuses on shoot responses and tolerance of native and commercial turf grasses under drought stress in a factorial experiment based on unbalanced completely random design on the year 2006. the specious that we used in this experiment included (i) commer...

The goal of this study was to determine the content of bioactive substances (chlorophyll, carotenoids, vitamin C) in less-known leafy vegetable species, such as Chinese mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. Et Coss.), mibuna (Brassica rapa ssp. japonica Makino) and mizuna (Brassica rapa ssp. nipposinica (Bailey) Hanelt). Within study, two cultivars of Chinese mustard were tested, concretely cv. ...

Crop gross primary productivity (GPP) is an important characteristic for evaluating crop nitrogen content and yield, as well as the carbon exchange. Based on the close relationship observed between GPP and total chlorophyll content in crops, we applied a model that relies on a product of chlorophyll-related vegetation index and incoming photosynthetically active radiation for remote estimation ...

Field studies were conducted to determine the potential for alterations in physiology and the intraspecific variation in sensitivity of 20 wheat (Triticum aestivum) cultivars to enhanced ultraviolet-B (UV-B, 280-315 nm) radiation. The supplemental UV-B radiation was 5 kJ m(-2), simulating a depletion of 20% stratospheric ozone. Out of 20 wheat cultivars (from South China, North China and Mexico...
