Chloroplast-targeted overexpression of an Fe superoxide dismutase (SOD) from Arabidopsis thaliana resulted in substantially increased foliar SOD activities. Ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and monodehydroascorbate reductase activities were similar in the leaves from all of the lines, but dehydroascorbate reductase activity was increased in the leaves of the FeSOD transformants rela...

Milk thistle is an important medicinal crop. In this two-year field study, the optimal form [bulk (non-structured), nanoparticles (NPs)] and concentration (0, 50, 100 mg L?1) of chitosan titanium dioxide (TiO2) applications for improving seed yield, as well mineral (N, Mg, Fe, Ti), protein, oil contents were investigated in five ecotypes. Leaf gas exchange, ratio variable to maximum fluorescenc...

Giant clams form a symbiosis with photosynthetic algae of the genus Symbiodinium that reside in clam mantle tissue. The allometry of symbiont photosynthetic performance was investigated as a mechanism for the increasing percentage of giant clam carbon respiratory requirements provided by symbionts as clam size increases. Chlorophyll fluorescence measurements of symbionts of the giant clam Trida...

Allium tuberosum Rotter (garlic chives) is a species of plant native to the Chinese province and naturalized elsewhere in Asia around world. In Korea, chives are boiled used as seasoned vegetables or soup ingredients, also for chive kimchi cucumber pickles. This paper describes experimental results chlorophyll content efficiency with drought stress soil acidity on garlic chives. Analytical dete...

Stony corals are promising transplant candidates for the ecological engineering of artificial coastal defences such as seawalls they attract and host numerous other organisms. However, exposed to a wide range environmental stressors associated with periods emersion during low tide desiccation changes in salinity, temperature, solar irradiance. All these variables have known deleterious effects ...

Soil waterlogging is an environmental limitation that promoted by changes in rainfall patterns and negatively affects plant physiology, growth, development, coffee production, exports Colombia. The objective of this research was to evaluate responses water status, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters for plants under different conditions. evaluations were carried out on six-month-old “Cenicafé 1...
