Light Production by Green Plants
1. Green plants have been found to emit light of approximately the same color as their fluorescent light for several minutes following illumination. This light is about 10(-3) the intensity of the fluorescent light, about one-tenth second after illumination below saturation or 10(-6) of the intensity of the absorbed light. 2. The decay curve follows bimolecular kinetics at 6.5 degrees C. and re...
متن کاملGreen light for gene targeting in plants.
P recision engineering of eukaryotic organisms requires efficient techniques for homology-based replacement of an endogenous gene by an introduced gene, a process termed gene targeting (GT). Because foreign DNA is preferentially integrated by nonhomologous recombination in plants and animals, special strategies are needed to increase the frequency and facilitate the detection of GT. Developing ...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic adaptation and acclimation to exploit seasonal periods of direct irradiance in three temperate, deciduous-forest herbs
1. We evaluated the potential for three species of deciduous-forest herbs to exploit seasonal periods of direct irradiance. In particular, we investigated the importance of photosynthetic acclimation as a mechanism for shade-tolerant herbs to utilize direct light reaching the forest floor before canopy expansion in the spring and after canopy leaf drop in the autumn. 2. We measured the photosyn...
متن کاملGreen plants as intelligent organisms.
Intelligent behaviour, even in humans, is an aspect of complex adaptive behaviour that provides a capacity for problem solving. This article assesses whether plants have a capacity to solve problems and, therefore, could be classified as intelligent organisms. The complex molecular network that is found in every plant cell and underpins plant behaviour is described. The problems that many plant...
متن کاملMapping Wild Leek through the Forest Canopy Using a UAV
Wild leek, an endangered plant species of Eastern North America, grows on forest floors and greens up to approximately three weeks before the trees it is typically found under, temporarily allowing it to be observed through the canopy by remote sensing instruments. This paper explores the accuracy with which wild leek can be mapped with a low-flying UAV. Nadir video imagery was obtained using a...
