A plant’s photosynthetic potential is directly proportional to the quantity of chlorophyll present in the leaf Measuring a crop’s physiological parameters provides information tissue. Rapid estimates of photosynthetic potential can for interpreting its response to the environment. Remote sensing is quickly becoming recognized as a valuable tool that has the potential be important for studies of...

in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and planting method on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of two chickpea cultivars (cicer arietinum l.) an experiment was conducted at the research station of college of agriculture, shiraz university using a split factorial based on randomized complete block design in four replications. the main factor was stopping irrigation ...

this study was conducted under ahvaz, iran environmental condition during 2012 and 2013 growing seasons in order to investigate the influence of foliar application of potassium on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of three olive cultivars including ‘mission’, ‘koroneiki’ and ‘dezfuli’. potassium sulfate in different concentrations of 0, 1, and 2 g l-1 was sprayed twice on selec...

Few studies have investigated the alkali-based salt resistance aspect of plants. Here, we used 2 pumpkin cultivars (‘Cucurbita ficifolia Bouch.’ and ‘Chuandilong’) to study the growth and physiological response mechanisms of pumpkin to different levels of NaHCO3 stress. After second true leaf development, pumpkin seedlings were treated with varying levels of NaHCO3 stress (0, 30, 60 and 90 mmol...

The aims of the study were: (i) to compare leaf reflectance in visible (VIS) (400-700 nm), near-infrared (NIR) (740-1140 nm) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) (2000-2400 nm) spectral ranges measured monthly by a contact probe on a single leaf and a stack of five leaves (measurement setup (MS)) of two broadleaved tree species during the vegetative season; and (ii) to test if and how selected vegeta...

Radix Isatidis (Isatis indigotica Fort.) is one of the most important traditional Chinese medicine plants. However, there is no suitable herbicide used for weed control in Radix Isatidis field during postemergence stage. To explore the safety of sulfonylurea herbicide nicosulfuron on Radix Isatidis (Isatis indigotica Fort.) seedlings and the photosynthetic physiological response of the plant to...

alstroemeria flower is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. some materials can increase longevity of cut flowers. the aim of this research was evaluating the effect of some chemical solutions on postharvest alstroemeria (cv. stratus) cut flowers. this experiment was conducted with two factors of sucrose at four concentrations, 0, 5, 10 and 15 g/l and salicylic acid (sa) at four c...

The first leaves (40 millimeters long) of 4-day-old light-grown Avena sativa L. cv Victory I seedlings contained a complete age sequence of cells from the base to the tip, and within these tissues all stages of chloroplast development could be observed. Although chloroplasts underwent progressive development, a marked increase in number of thylakoids per granum, in chloroplast volume, and in ch...
