in this research, catalase activity and leaf chlorophyll stability of satsuma mandarin on some citrus rootstocks under waterlogging condition were studied. experiment was conducted as factorial with randomized complete blocks and 6 replications. the first factor, include 7 soils from east mazandaran and the second factor included 7 different citrus rootstocks: 1. sour orange, 2. swingle citrome...

Herbicidal Action of Aminotriazol, Wheat and Oat Seedlings, Chlorophyll, Phytol, Geranylgeraniol, Dihydrogeranylgeraniol, Tetrahydrogeranylgeraniol Treatment of wheat caryops with 3-amino-l,2,4-triazol followed by dark germination leads to phytol deficiency (based on the chlorophyll content) during the subsequent greening process in the light. The analysis of the pigment fraction reveales the p...

The positive effect of melatonin on the function of the photosynthetic apparatus is known, but little is known about the specific mechanisms of melatonin's action in plants. The influence of melatonin on chlorophyll metabolism of 24-day-old Pisum sativum L. seedlings during paraquat (PQ)-induced oxidative stress was investigated in this study. Seeds were hydro-primed with water (H), 50 and 200 ...

Anabaena variabilis, a blue-green alga lacking chlorophyll b, shows an absence of the major 22 and 24 kilodalton polypeptides which are present in the photosynthetic membranes of Chlamydomonas reinhardi and higher plants. These data are consistent with other investigations which have shown that these polypeptides are associated with chlorophyll b in the chloroplasts of higher plants, and indica...

Chlorophyll is utilized as a simple, inexpensive and environment-friendly (“green”) colorimetric indicator for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) gas. A drastic color change from green to yellow was observed when chlorophyll, either dissolved in CH2Cl2 solution or absorbed into paper, was exposed to NO2 gas. Other gases such as CO2 and SO2 did not exhibit any color change with chlorophyll. Spectroscopic an...

What is Chlorophyll? Chlorophyll, in various forms, is bound within the living cells of algae and other phytoplankton found in surface water. Chlorophyll is a key biochemical component in the molecular apparatus that is responsible for photosynthesis, the critical process in which the energy from sunlight is used to produce life-sustaining oxygen. In the photosynthetic reaction below, carbon di...

In this paper we examine time-series measurements of near-surface chlorophyll concentration from a mooring that was deployed at 80.5E on the equator in the Indian Ocean in 2010. These data reveal at least six striking spikes in chlorophyll from October through December, at approximately 2-week intervals, that coincide with the development of the fall Wyrtki jets during the transition between th...

Portable, non-destructive chlorophyll meters could be a valuable tool for forest managers and researchers. The ability of such meters to assess both chlorophyll and nitrogen content has been well established for many agricultural species, but not wellstudied for North American forest tree species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of a portable chlorophyll meter to estimat...

The estimation of crop chlorophyll content could provide technical support for precision agriculture. Canopy spectral reflectance was simulated for different chlorophyll levels using radiative transfer models. Then with multiperiod measured hyperspectral data and corresponding chlorophyll content, after extracting six wavelet energy coefficients from the responded bands, an evaluation of soybea...
