Abstract Determination of chlorophyll content as an indirect method of estimating the productivity of vegetation represents a good way to gain an understanding of the photosynthetic regime of plants. Physiological investigations of chlorophyll and carotenoid content in the uppermost internode of several wheat cultivars were carried out at the outset of the flowering phase. The dependence of chl...

Chlorophyll is a key indicator of the physiological status of a forest canopy. However, its distribution may vary greatly in time and space, so that the estimation of chlorophyll content of canopies or branches by extrapolation from leaf values obtained by destructive sampling is labor intensive and potentially inaccurate. Chlorophyll content is related positively to the point of maximum slope ...

the measurement of chlorophyll content of leaf is as an appropriate criterion in breeding programs to increase the rate of leaf photosynthesis. in order to study the relationship between chlorophyll content and seed yield under saline conditions, 41 wheat genotypes were evaluated in two conditions (normal and salinity stress) at the research field of the national salinity research center (nsrc)...

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...

in order to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methanol on some physiological characteristics of chickpea under drought stress, an experiment was conducted as a factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in 2011 at the recearch center of plant for sciences in ferdowsi university of mashhad. the first factor was different levels of methanol including, 0 (c...

Willstätter and Stoll have studied the rate of photosynthesis as a function of chlorophyll content. However, their experiments fail to reveal any regular relationship between these two quantities, probably because, in order to obtain material differing widely in chlorophyll content, they were obliged to use leaves which were not comparable in other respects. The writer describes a method for va...

Barley leaves grown under a natural light/dark regime have a chlorophyll content of 1300 [ig/g fresh weight and a chlorophyll a /b ratio of 2 .5 -3 . When the plants are grown under cycles of 2 min light/118 min dark, the respective values are 50 and 5 — 9. With chloroplasts with low chlo­ rophyll b content variable fluorescence is depressed by about 30% by MgCl2; with those of high chlorophyll...

Local haplotype patterns surrounding densely spaced DNA markers with significant trait associations can reveal information on selective sweeps and genome diversity associated with important crop traits. Relationships between haplotype and phenotype diversity, coupled with analysis of gene content in conserved haplotype blocks, can provide insight into coselection for nonrelated traits. We perfo...

The present investigation envisages the in vivo measured laser induced chlorophyll florescence spectra of EMS (Ethyl methane sulphonate) treated safflower leaves. Seeds of safflower were treated with 0.5% EMS for three treatment durations (3h, 5h and 7h) to raise the populations. The effect of EMS treatment on chlorophyll content in the leaves was assessed using laser induced chlorophyll fluore...

-In this study, impacts of vector quantization compression on prediction of leaf chlorophyll content of crops for the application to precision agriculture were evaluated. The compression algorithm tested in this paper is called successive approximation multi-stage vector quantization (SAMVQ). The hyperspectral data used were acquired by CASI over corn fields at L’ Acadie experimental farm (Agri...
