The effect of temperature and light intensity have been studied in relation to the greening of etiolated corn (Zea mays cv. Pioneer 309-B) seedlings. Chlorophyll accumulation is rapid at high temperature (28 degrees ) under all conditions of light intensity. At low temperature (16 degrees ), and particularly in combination with high light intensity (3000-4500 ft-c), the accumulation of both chl...

Leaf chlorophyll content is an important variable for agricultural remote sensing because of its close relationship to leaf nitrogen content. The triangular greenness index (TGI) was developed based on the area of a triangle surrounding the spectral features of chlorophyll with points at (670 nm, R670), (550 nm, R550), and (480 nm, R480), where R is the spectral reflectance at wavelengths of 67...

The effect of different light regimes (100, 85 and 70 % solar exposition) on coffee plants (Coffea arabica L. var. Caturra) was studied. There was an overall effect of solar exposition levels on growth at different crop growth stages, plant height and stem diameter being the most affected variables with higher values in 85 % solar exposition. Relative water content showed daily variations with ...

In the present study effect of fertilizer factory effluent on seed germination, seedling growth and chlorophyll content of gram (Cicer aeritenum) has been carried out, at different concentration of the effluent and time intervals. The effluent is alkaline in nature with strong ammonia odour. The germination percentage of seed, seedling growth and chlorophyll content showed a gradual decline wit...

in order to investigate the effects of corm tunic, corm weight and drought stress on saffron (crocus sativus l.), an experiment was conducted at the greenhouse of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. treatment were combination of four corm weights range (2-4, 4-6, 6-8 and 8-10 g), two levels of water availability (100% field capacity and drought) and two levels of corm tunic (natural corm with...

Holt, Stanley C. (Dartmouth Medical School, Hanover, N.H.), S. F. Conti, and R. C. Fuller. Effect of light intensity on the formation of the photochemical apparatus in the green bacterium Chloropseudomonas ethylicum. J. Bacteriol. 91:349-355. 1966.-When the green bacterium Chloropseudomonas ethylicum was grown at various light intensities, the formation of the photosynthetic vesicles was found ...

The cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis is an attractive alternative source of the pigment chlorophyll, which is used as a natural color in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. In the present investigation, the influence of light intensity and pH for Spirulina platensis growth, protein and chl a content were examined. In the present investigation the production of Spirulina platensis was...

Effect of gibberellic acid on marigold (Calendula Officinalis L.) was evaluated in a pot culture experiment. A factorial experiment based on completely randomized design including 12 treatments and four replications was carried out. Main factor was foliar application stages (first, second and third) and sub factor included different concentrations of GA3 (0, 50, 150 and 250 mg L...
