this study investigated the relationships between nutrients and chlorophyll, a concentration in the international alma gol wetland. chlorophyll a is the major photosynthetic pigment in lots of phytoplanktons and has been used as a trophy index in aquatic ecosystems. water samples were collected fortnightly from five stations in the wetland during summer and autumn. chlorophyll-a ranged between ...

Photosynthetic pigment composition was studied in batch cultures of Heterocapsa sp. and Olisthodiscus luteus growing exponentially in a 12:12 light:dark cycle. Both species divided in the dark. The synthesis of pigments was continuous for both species. However for chlorophyll c and peridinin, in Heterocapsa sp., and chlorophyll c and fucoxanthin, in 0. luteus, (pigments belonging to light harve...

Maillard Reaction Products (MRP) was prepared from glucose and glysine heated at 90 ̊C in air circulating oven for 12 hours. The effect of MRP on chlorophyll stability in green peas was investigated. The addition of Maillard Reaction Products (MRP) decreased the loss of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll. The conversion of pheophytin and pyropheophytin was also reduced by the add...

The effects of lead, copper, cadmium and mercury on the content of chlorophyll, proline, retinol, α-tocopherol and ascorbic acid were investigated in 17-day-old bean seedlings (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grown in Hoagland solution spiked with various concentrations of Pb, Cu, Cd and Hg. Control and heavy metal-treated plants were grown for 10 days in Hoagland solution. Content of total chlorophyll ...

Amount of chlorophyll content, Proteins, Carbohydrates and RNA has been studied in ten taxa of Mosses. The study also embodies the specific activity of enzymes α-amylase, ß-amylase, Proteases and polyphenol oxidases. It has been found that carbohydrate content is more than protein content in Atrichum pallidum, Thuidium recognitum, Brachythecium kamounense and Funaria hygrometrica, whereas, tota...

Chlorophyll-deficient individuals have been reported in most species of plants studied intensively by genetic methods. The majority of these chlorotic types have been shown to be the expression of a single gene mutation. However, there is a large group of types that exhibit maternal inheritance, and transmission of the deficiency to their offspring is conditioned by the cytoplasm. Until rather ...

drought stress is the most important factor that reduces yield in crops including chickpea and causes some changes in seed composition. this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and starter nitrogen fertilizer on four cultivars of chickpea. experiment was performed in a split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stre...

In order to study the effects of humic acid foliar spraying on morphological traits, photosynthetic pigmentation, and essential oil content of Dracocephalum moldavica, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in Saveh. The investigated factors included the use of humic acid at four levels 0 (control), 200, 400, and 800 mg/L and eth...

The partition of phylloquinone (vitamin K J, of chlorophylls a and b and of the two main carotenoids, /?-carotene and lutein, in subthylakoid particles (digitonin treatment) and chlorophyll protein complexes (sodium dodecylsulfate polyamide-gel electrophoresis) isolated from tobacco chloroplasts (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is described. 1. The “light particle” fractions (S 90000, S 150000) of digito...
