the influence of water deprivation on potted grape (vitis vinifera l.) was investigated. leaf mass area (lma) and biochemical responses, including chlorophyll, total protein, peroxidase activity, soluble carbohydrates, photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were assessed in leaves of ‘sahani’ and ‘bidane sefid’ grape cultivars subjected to progressive drought (soil water potentials of: -0.2, -...

  In a three-year (2004-2006), field experiment, we aimed to study changes in leaf physiological traits (leaf water potential-Ψleaf, leaf water content-LWC, carbon isotope discrimination-Δ, specific leaf area-SLA, chlorophyll content as assessed by SPAD and modified SPAD-MSPAD) and elemental composition (K, Na, Ca, Mg, K/Na, Ca/Mg, total leaf salinity-TLS) of sugar beets (cv. Rizor) grown unde...

Greenhouse experiments in a completely randomized design were carried out to investigate the effects of nitroxin fertilizer (0, 1 and 2 li/ha) on morphological and physiological traits of Amaranthus retroflexus in 2013. The traits in the study included plant height, fresh and dry weight of shoots, roots, stem and leaf, Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanin, a...

abstract to investigate the effects of paclobutrazol (pbz) on vegetative and reproductive growth of strawberry cv. selva a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications was carried out in greenhouse of agriculture college, isfahan university of technology. pbz was applied in two methods, drench and foliar spray, at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 mg active ingredient per p...

Spatial and temporal variations in canopy structure and leaf biochemistry have considerable influence on fluxes of CO2, water and energy and nutrient cycling in vegetation. Two vegetation indices (VI), NDVI and Macc01, were used to model the spatio-temporal variability of broadleaf chlorophyll content and leaf area index (LAI) across a growing season. Ground data including LAI, hyperspectral le...

The study was conducted on physiology and biochemical performance and correlation for yield and its quality characters of 18 genotypes of Glory lily (Gloriosa superba). Experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications at the Medicinal Plants Unit, Botanical Garden, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. Genotypes GS 15, GS 06, GS 18, GS 03 and GS 02 were com...

The objective of this study was to develop a rapid non-destructive technique to estimate total chlorophyll (Chl) content in a maize canopy using Chl content in a single leaf. The approach was (1) to calibrate and validate a reflectance-based non-destructive technique to estimate leaf Chl in maize; (2) to quantify the relative contribution of each leaf Chl to the total Chl in the canopy; and (3)...

Effect of cobalt (Co) stress on morphological parameters and pigments of Arachis hypogaea L. were studied. Growth parameters such as, root and shoot length, number of nodules, total leaf area and root and shoot dry weights; photosynthetic pigments viz., chlorophyll ‘a’, chlorophyll ‘b’, total chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were analysed. Growth parameters and pigments have beneficial value...
