Photoreduction of the artificial electron acceptor, cytochrome c, by isolated spinach chloroplasts in the absence of added catalyst has been found to be resistant to inhibition by 10 mM salicyl­ aldoxime. This contrasts with the pronounced inhibition of the photoreduction of both 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol and ferricyanide over a range of electron flow rates, and indicates an inhibition on th...

abstract planting of olive (olea europaea l.) tree due to salt and drought tolerance and ever green habit increasingly is considered in urban landscape in recent years. the low resistance to cold has been a major problem in using this tree in temperate and cold zones. so, determination of frost resistance cultivars is one of the important measures for use of this tree in urban landscape. to eva...

The use of appropriate plant spacing in the canopy is an important and cost-free agrotechnical factor for increasing seed yield. Proper row sowing density are maintaining adequate light, ensuring good physiological processes, influencing nutritional status plants. As a consequence, this leads to better productivity while economic profitability. A four-year field experiment with white lupine was...

We recently developed a chlorophyll fluorescence method (activated F0 rise) for estimating if light wavelength preferably excites PSI or PSII in plants. Here, the was tested green microalgae: Scenedesmus quadricauda, ecornis, fuscus, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Chlorella sorokiniana, and Ettlia oleoabundans. The species displayed plant-like action spectra of rise, suggesting that PSII/PSI absorp...

Nitrogen is a major limiting factor for crop productivity. The relationship between photosynthesis and nitrogen nutrition has been widely studied. However, the molecular response of leaf photosynthesis to low nitrogen supply in crops is less clear. In this study, RNA sequencing technology (RNA-Seq) was used to investigate the gene expressions related to photosynthesis in maize in response to lo...

Soil salinity is one of the most important environmental factors threatening agriculture on a global level. Plants show differences in resistance to salt stress, both terms species and variety. The aim study was determine effect stress photosynthetic efficiency activity plants two barley varietie—KWS Irina RGT Planet. grown pot experiment were subjected soil treatment with sodium chloride (NaCl...

The collection of 10 parental lines of tetraploid wheat genotypes with various origin was cultivated in growth chamber. Leaf and growth traits such as assimilation pigments content, dry mass and leaf area of plants were measured. The genotype differences were recognized by chlorophyll a fluorescence fast kinetics method applied on penultimate young wheat leaves. Consequently, heat stress suscep...
