Identifying and characterizing the biochemical variation in plant tissues is an important task many research fields. Small spectral differences of cell wall that are caused by genetic or environmental influences may be superimposed individual as well a microscopic heterogeneity molecular composition structure different histological substructures. A set 56 samples from Cucumis sativus (cucumber)...

in the present study, we have reported the biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (agnps) using aqueous leaf extract prepared by hot percolation treatment of wheat varities (pbw343, triticum durum and aegilops tauschii )for the reduction of silver ions to silver nanoparticles. bioreduction of ag+ to ag0 was observed when aqueous extract augmented with silver nitrate (agno3) was incubated ...

tagetes is a genus of 56 species of annual and perennial mostly herbaceous plants in the sunflower family (asteraceae or compositae).in this research our goal was recognizing the main components of the plant to extract useful ones. essential oils of the leaves, seeds and flowers of tagets minuta l., growing wild in iran, were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gc and gc-ms. identifi...

We investigated the utility of high spectral and spatial resolution imagery for the automated species-level classification of individual tree crowns (ITCs) in a tropical rain forest (TRF). Laboratory spectrometer and airborne reflectance spectra (161 bands, 437–2434 nm) were acquired from seven species of emergent trees. Analyses focused on leaf-, pixeland crown-scale spectra. We first describe...

Direct-infusion mass spectrometry (MS) was applied to study the metabolic effects of the symbiosis between the endophytic fungus Neotyphodium lolii and its host perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) in three different tissues (immature leaf, blade, and sheath). Unbiased direct-infusion MS using a linear ion trap mass spectrometer allowed metabolic effects to be determined free of any preconceptio...

Synthesis of metallic and semiconductor nanoparticles through physical and chemical routes has been extensively reported. However, green synthesized metal nanoparticles are currently in the limelight due to the simplicity, cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness of their synthesis. This study explored the use of aqueous leaf extract of Costus afer in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (CA-Ag...

In this paper, we aim to detect crop injury from glyphosate, a herbicide, by both traditionally used spectral indices and newly extracted features with leaf hyperspectral reflectance data for non-Glyphosate-Resistant (non-GR) soybean and non-GR cotton. The new features were extracted by canonical analysis technique, which could provide the largest separability to distinguish the injured leaves ...

Leaf chlorophyll content in coniferous forest canopies, a measure of stand condition, is the target of studies and models linking leaf reflectance and transmittance and canopy hyperspectral reflectance imagery. The viability of estimation of needle chlorophyll content from airborne hyperspectral optical data through inversion of linked leaf level and canopy level radiative transfer models is di...
