an investigation of chlorophyll quick fluorsence variations was made in the reaserch field of islamic azad university- karaj in 2007. the experimental design was a split plot one in form of a complete randomized block design with 4 replications. drought stress was cosiderded in three levels of 40%, 60%, and 75%, on the basis of depletion of soil moisture as the main factor and the factor of mic...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the  effects of water deficit stress on chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) characteristics of photosystem II (PSII) and pigment contents in two rootstock seedlings (Pistacia atlantica L. and P. khinjuk L.). Three levels of soil water potential (Ψs) was used, including WWD (-0.05 MPa), MWD (-0.7 MPa) and SWD (-1.5 MPa). It was found that water stress increased the...

in order to quantify and simulate the response of lemon balm (melissa officinalis l.) plants to cadmium (cd) concentrations in the soil, a pot experiment was conducted using completely randomized design (crd) with three replicates during 2014. the treatment consisted of twelve cd concentrations from 0 to 300 mg kg-1 of cd in the soil which was mixed with the experimental soil before planting. l...

zinc has previously been reported to alleviate salinity stress in plants. in this study, we monitored various biomass and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters to determine the optimum zinc sulfate concentration that can be used as foliar spray to alleviate salinity stress in glycine soja. the plants subjected to a series of salinity levels (nacl concentration of 0, 100, 200, and 300 mmol l-1), a...

Photosynthesis, Electron Transport, Chlorophyll Fluorescence, Photosystem II, BAS 13-338 Addition of BAS 13-338 (4-chloro-5-dim ethylam ino-2-phenyl-3(2H )-pyridazinone) to a sus­ pension of chloroplast thylakoids caused an increase in the / level o f chlorophyll fluorescence induction without affecting the F0 level and with a slight decrease in the Fmax level in a manner similar to the additio...
