Photosynthesis in the Potato Under Field Conditions

Photosynthesis in the Potato Under Field Conditions.

In spite of the importance of the potato as a food, little is known about the effect of environmental factors on photosynthesis in the plant. Studies with several other crops (1, 12, 16, 23, 24) have not only added to the knowledge of photosynthesis but have aided in understanding certain responses of these crops to environmental variations. VERDUIN and LooMIs (24) and GABRIELSON (10) have show...

Apparent photosynthesis of soybean plants as affected by changes in leaf water potential under field conditions

The Continuous Measurement of Photosynthesis, Respiration, and Transpiration of Alfalfa and Wheat Growing under Field Conditions.

The apparatus and experimental technique which are described in this paper have been developed to determine continuously, automatically, and throughout the life of a plant, if desired, the carbon dioxide exchange and the transpiration in a chamber in which plants are growing under field conditions. This discussion give.s a general resume of our methods, including, first, a description of the eq...

The responses of potato cultivars to osmotic and temperature stresses under in vitro conditions

In order to investigate the responses of potato plantlets under in vitro conditions to osmotic and temperature stresses, a factorial experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with three replications. Each replicate contained a glass jar with 5 explants grown in it. The first...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...
