in order to study of some effective phenologic and physiologic characteristics on 18 sunflower hybrids yield under optimum conditions, an experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications at the research field of seed and plant improvement institute-karaj in 2006-2007. the result indicated that the hybrids showed significant difference in phonologic characteri...

Photosynthesis-irradiance (PI) curves are extensively used in field and laboratory research to evaluate the photon-use efficiency of plants. However, most existing models for PI curves focus on the relationship between the photosynthetic rate (Pn) and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and do not take account of the influence of environmental factors on the curve. In the present study, ...

in this study the response of 9 rapeseed genotypes were evaluated at the seedling stage using different irrigation levels (50, 70 and 100% fc). a factorial experiment based on rcbd was conducted in the research greenhouses of urmia university with four replications during summer of 2013. some physiological traits such as relative water content, stomatal conductance, transpiration, photosynthesi...

Photosynthesis is nature's route to convert intermittent solar irradiation into storable energy, while its use for an industrial energy supply is impaired by low efficiency. Artificial photosynthesis provides a promising alternative for efficient robust carbon-neutral renewable energy generation. The approach of direct hydrogen generation by photoelectrochemical water splitting utilizes customi...

Radiation use efficiency (RUE) provides a useful diagnostic approach for estimating carbon accumulation by terrestrial plant communities. A model for instantaneous gross photosynthesis by a canopy, considering sunlit and shaded leaves, variation of maximum rate of leaf photosynthesis within the canopy and a solution of the radiative transfer equation for propagation of direct and diffuse photos...

Salinity and water stress reduces the ability of plant to take up water and decrease growth rate, photosynthesis rate (An) and stomatal conductance (gs) of plants. In this study, effects of deficit irrigation with different salinity levels and planting method (in-furrow and on-ridge) as strategies for coping with water and salinity stress on physiologic properties of rapeseed was investigat...

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (Rubisco) efficiency for CO2-saturated photosynthesis was examined in leaves of rice (Oryza sativa L.). The amount of Rubisco in a leaf was calculated to be 30-55% in excess for the light-saturated rate of photosynthesis at 100 Pa CO2. Long-term exposure to CO2 enrichment decreased the amount of Rubisco protein. However, N was not reallocated from decreased...
