On the Potential Usefulness of Fourier Spectra of Delayed Fluorescence from Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Delayed fluorescence (DF) from photosystem II (PSII) of plants can be potentially used as a biosensor for the detection of plant physiological status and environmental changes. It has been analyzed mainly in the time domain. Frequency-domain analysis through Fourier transform allows viewing a signal from another angle, but the usefulness of DF spectra has not been well studied. In this work, experiments were conducted to show the differences and similarities in DF spectra of different plants with short pulse excitation. The DF spectra show low-pass characteristics with first-order attenuation of high frequencies. The results also show that the low-frequency components differ while the high-frequency components are similar. These may imply the potential usefulness of Fourier spectra of DF to analyze photoelectron transport in plants and classify samples.

Potential of OM of Iranian peat and swamp and characterization of physico-chemical properties of organic soils
The objective of this work was to investigate the potential of three different kinds of Iranian peat and swamp soils as sources of organic matter (OM) in the Golestan Province, Northern Iran. Comparison of the peats was done in terms of the degree of humification on the von Post scale. Moreover, the X-ray fluorescence, X-Ray Diffractometry, and Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) techniques wer...

متن کاملAttenuation of Fourier spectra for 2012 Ahar–Varzaghan earthquakes, Northwestern Iran
In this research, we have used 102 strong motion recordings from 2012 Ahar-Varzaghan earthquakes (Mw=6.5 and Mw=6.3) to study the form of attenuation of shear wave Fourier amplitude spectra of those two events. The analysis is carried out in a broad-band frequency range from 0.1 to 20 Hz. A bilinear shape for geometrical spreading is assumed based on nonparametric regression of the data. The hi...
متن کاملApplications of Delayed Fluorescence from Photosystem II
While photosystem II (PSII) of plants utilizes light for photosynthesis, part of the absorbed energy may be reverted back and dissipated as long-term fluorescence (delayed fluorescence or DF). Because the generation of DF is coupled with the processes of forward photosynthetic activities, DF contains the information about plant physiological states and plant-environment interactions. This makes...
