and an increased chlorophyll b to chlorophyll a ratio for better light capture in low light. Furthermore, an Ostreobium strain living in a coral skeleton, where nearly all of the red light has been captured by the zooxanthellae in the coral tissue, has been shown to have modified chlorophyll with a spectrum shifted towards far-red wavelengths. As zooxanthellae cannot use far-red light, more of ...

the use of in vitro potato shoot cultures for protoplast isolation is desirable for consistent protoplast qualities. ethylene build-up in the culture vessels causes problems for leaf growth (e.g. decreasing leaf surface, dry weight and chlorophyll) in shoot culture. fifty to one hundred µm silver thiosulfate (sts) produced a larger leaf area as a source of plant material for protoplast isolatio...

in order to study the effect of different water potential on anethum graveolens l. an experiment was conducted. this study was carried out based on completely randomized design with three replications. in this experiment, morpho-physiological characteristics were assessed under hydroponic. stress was established with peg 6000, and drought potentials were: 0 (control), -1.5, -2, -2.5 and -3 bar....

in order to investigate the effect of mycorrhizal fungi and phosphorus fertilizer on concentration of leaf nutrients and photosynthetic pigments of bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) in condition of irrigation with saline water, an experiment was conducted based on completely randomized design with three replications in greenhouse of bahonar university of kerman, iran during 2010. the studied factors...

to study the effects of foliar application of common and nano-sized iron sulphate on five sunflower cultivars (alster, olsion, hysun36, yourflour and hysun33) under two levels of salinity (0 and 100 mm nacl), a pot experiment in factorial based using a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted. plant height, leaf area, shoot weight, chlorophyll content and the conce...
