Field trials with Dizigotheeca elegantissima were conducted at the experimental farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Azad University  Jiroft  in growth seasons of 2012 year. The aim of this work was to study the effect of foliar application of gibberellic acid [GA3] and benzyladenine [BA] at 0, 50, 100 and 150 mgL-1 on the vegetative growth and Photosynthetic pigments ...

Isolated photosynthetic reaction center from the bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum was extracted with acetone-methanol. Its main pigments were identified as bacteriochlorophyll, bacteriopheophytin, and spirilloxanthin. The extinction coefficients of these pigments in acetone-methanol were determined. Quantitative spectroscopic analysis of the dry acetone-methanol extracts indicated a bacteriochlo...

This paper aimed to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of cadmium on growth rates, photosynthetic pigments, photosynthetic performance, biochemical parameters and structure of chloroplasts in G. domingensis. To accomplish this, apical segments of G. domingensis were cultivated with different concentrations of cadmium, ranging from 100 to 300 μM, over a period of 16 days, and were ...

Application o f elevated pressure (up to 1200 bars) results in a bathochrom ic shift o f the absorption bands o f photosynthetic pigments. The photosynthetic systems studied include: photosystem I particles, chloroplasts, acetone extracts o f chloroplasts, A U T particles and light harvesting particles o f Rh. sphaeroides, light harvesting particles o f R26. Sim ilar spectral changes are observ...

The effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus on growth and photosynthetic pigments in medicinally important Coriandrum sativum with different levels of Cadmium (Cd) was investigated. Plants inoculated with and without AM fungi were grown in soil with 0, 50 and 100 Cd mg kg soil. The plants 1 inoculated with AM fungi showed better growth and less toxic symptoms. Photosynthetic pigments were ...

In this study we investigated the influence of kinetin (6-furfurylaminopurine) on stolbur infected tomato plants. By using electron microscopy we analysed the starch accumula­ tion and the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast and we quantified the photosynthetic pigments by spectrophoto­ metry. Consideration was also given to the growth and ge­ neral appearance of the plants. We proved that i...

field trials with spathiphyllum wallisii regel were conducted at the experimental farm of faculty of agriculture, university azad jiroft in 2012 growth seasons. the aim of this work is to study the effect of foliar application with benzyladenine (ba) at 0, 100, 200 and 400 mg.l-1 and gibberellic acid (ga3) at 0, 100 and 200 mg.l-1 on the vegetative growth constituents of spathiphyllumplants. mo...

the objective of this work was to study the responses of two baby lettuce (lactuca sativa l.) cultivars, namely, green paris island and red sanguine, to different nacl concentrations (0, 5, 10, and 20 mm). the study was conducted in a floating system and plants were harvested at the stage of 5-6 leaves, outside leaf 6-10 cm in length (25 and 31 days after sowing for green and red lettuce, respe...

Understanding the nutritional dynamics of herbivores living in highly seasonal landscapes remains a central challenge in foraging ecology with few tools available for describing variation in selection for dormant versus growing vegetation. Here, we tested whether the concentrations of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophylls and carotenoids) in forage and feces of elk (Cervus elaphus L., 1785) wer...
