Wood structure and wood anatomy are usually considered to be largely independent of the physiological processes that govern tree growth. This paper reports a statistical relationship between leaf and bark chlorophyll fluorescence and wood density. A relationship between leaf and bark chlorophyll fluorescence and the quantity of wood decay in a tree is also described. There was a statistically s...

A characteristic spectral emission is observed in vegetation chlorophyll under excitation by solar radiation. This emission, known as solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence, occurs in the red and near infra-red spectral regions. In this paper a new methodology for the estimation of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence from spaceborne and airborne sensors is presented. The fluorescence signal ...

to comparison the photosynthetic parameters and leaf chlorophyll content and fluorescence of safflower (carthamus tinctorios l.) cultivars under salinity stress, a pot experiment was carried out as factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in summer 2011 in university of yasouj. first factor included four salinity levels (zero, 75, 150 and 225 mm (formed as 20 to 1...

canopy temperature (ct) is used as a selection tool to improve crop adaptation to drought. the aim of this work was to investigate association of some photosynthetic characters with ct during grain filling in three cereal species. for this objective, a two-year study (2009-2011) was carried out in kurdistan province in western iran. four genotypes of triticale, three cultivars of bread wheat, a...

in order to compare photosynthetic features of triticale, bread wheat, and barley under water deficit conditions, this experiment was carried out in kurdistan province in western iran. four genotypes of triticale, three cultivars of bread wheat, and a new variety of barley were compared under well watered (ψsoil= -3 bars) and soil water deficit (ψsoil= -12 bars) conditions in a randomized compl...

Chlorophyll in green plants is thought to reside in the internal membranes or lamellae of chloroplasts (1). These membranes are observable by electron microscopy and can be roughly grouped, on the basis of size and arrangement , into grana lamellae and stroma lamellae which exist as closed, flattened sacs, or thylakoids (2). Al though the chlorophyll molecule is not yet demonstrable by electron...

The viability of algae belonging to divisions Cyanophyta, Chlorophyta and Xantophyta has been assessed by chlorophyll autofluorescence and after staining with fluorescent dyes rodamin B, neutral rot, calcofluor white and fluorescein diacetate. For this purpose the fluorescence of algal cells from fresh and old cultures was scored. It was established that chlorophyll autofluorescence could be re...

Each quantum of light absorbed by a chlorophyll molecule rises an electron from the ground state to an excited state. Upon de-excitation from a chlorophyll a molecule from excited state 1 to ground state, a small proportion (3-5% in vivo) of the excitation energy is dissipated as red fluorescence. The indicator function of chlorophyll fluorescence arises from the fact that fluorescence emission...
