A rise in heavy metal contamination especially the rhizosphere affecting growth and yield of crops is a major concern. We aimed to study influence using calcium silicate (CS) ascorbic acid (AsA) supplements on lowering impact cadmium-induced toxicityin mung bean. Both alone or combination improved characteristics cadmium (Cd) stressed bean plants like root-shoot length fresh-dry weight. Leaf pi...

The article presents the results of a study significance influence white and combined (red-blue-white) light spectrum on growth productivity plants genus Monarda L. in conditions hydroponics. optimal lighting mode has been found for highest monarda. A quantitative analysis content photosynthetic pigments was carried out. yield, leaf size monarda leaves when grown under LED lamps turned out to b...

In this study, the effects of different concentrations vanadium (V), selenium (Se), cerium (Ce), and iodine (I) on growth parameters, biomass accumulation, content photosynthetic pigments during seedling stage marigold (Calendula officinalis L.) were evaluated. The beneficial elements V (3, 5, or 10 µM), Se (5, 10, 20 Ce (25, 50, 100 I (5 µM) applied once a week along with 50% Hoagland nutritiv...

Red (retro)-carotenoids accumulate in chloroplasts of Buxus sempervirens leaves during the process of winter leaf acclimation. As a result of their irregular presence, different leaf colour phenotypes can be found simultaneously in the same location. Five different colour phenotypes (green, brown, red, orange, and yellow), with a distinct pattern of pigment distribution and concentration, have ...

The highly variable leaf color of Cymbidium sinense significantly improves its horticultural and economic value, and makes it highly desirable in the flower markets in China and Southeast Asia. However, little is understood about the molecular mechanism underlying leaf-color variations. In this study, we found the content of photosynthetic pigments, especially chlorophyll degradation metabolite...

Understanding the synergic interactions between arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and its host mulberry (Morus alba L.), an important perennial multipurpose plant, has theoretical and practical significance in mulberry plantation, silkworm cultivation, and relevant textile industry. In a greenhouse study, we compared functional distinctions of three genetically different AMF species (Acaulospo...

1. Aqueous extracts of spinach and Aspidistra leaves yield highly opalescent preparations which are not in true solution. Such extracts differ markedly from colloidal chlorophyll in their spectrum and fluorescence. The differences between the green leaf pigment and chlorophyll in organic solvents are shown to be due to combination of chlorophyll with protein in the leaf. 2. The effect of some a...
