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...

We investigated the role of GlyBet (100 mM) applied exogenously in alleviating water-deficit induced stress in indica rice cv. Pathumthani 1 (PT1). Exogenous GlyBet increased proline concentration in the leaf tissues of water deficit stressed plants depend on a degree of soil water content (SWC), especially at severe water deficit (25% SWC). Foliar GlyBet (100 mM) significantly enhanced chlorop...

Evolutionary variation for accumulation of small heat shock protein (sHsp) may contribute to thermal niche differentiation between species. Here e examine temperature and time-course-dependent variation for sHsp accumulation in a recently diverged pair of Encelia raised in a common environment: Encelia farinosa, common in the Mojave desert, and Encelia californica, which is found along the cool...

Chlorophyll fluorescence has been used to predict and monitor coral bleaching over short timescales (hours to days), but long-term changes during recovery remain largely unknown. To evaluate changes in fluorescence during long-term bleaching and recovery, Porites compressa and Montipora capitata corals were experimentally bleached in tanks at 30 degrees C for 1 month, while control fragments we...

Responses of Ulva prolifera and Ulva linza to Cd(2+) stress were studied. We found that the relative growth rate (RGR), Fv/Fm, and actual photochemical efficiency of PSII (Yield) of two Ulvaspecies were decreased under Cd(2+) treatments, and these reductions were greater in U. prolifera than in U. linza. U. prolifera accumulated more cadmium than U. linza under Cd(2+) stress. While U. linza sho...

To assess photosynthesis as a bioindicator of toxicity from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), the response of chlorophyll-a fluorescence to creosote exposure was compared with effects on population-level plant growth. Large, outdoor, freshwater microcosms containing Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum) received either a single application or multiple applications of liquid creos...

The chlorophyll fluorescence parameter Fv/Fm plays a significant role in indicating the photosynthetic function of plants. existing technical methods used to measure are often inefficient and cumbersome. To realize fast non-destructive monitoring Fv/Fm, this study took rice under different fertilizer treatments measured hyperspectral reflectance information data leaves during whole growth perio...

Rhododendron species are typical calcifuges that do not grow well in calcareous soils characterized by alkaline pH and high concentrations of Ca2+. In this study, we investigated the effects three levels a Ca2+ treatment on vitro germination seedling growth species: R. chihsinianum, fortunei, vernicosum. Alkaline had no significant effect parameters (gMAX, mean time uniformity) but significantl...
