in order to study the effect of foliar zinc spraying on photosynthetic pigments and yield of chickpea under water stress conditions, a factorial experiment carried out based on randomized completely block design (rcbd) with three replications in university of mohaghegh ardabili agricultural research station in 2012. the treatments consisted of three levels of irrigation (irrigated at planting, ...

knowledge of the physiological characteristic of tree and shrubs species and their adaptability to environmental factors is an important issue in species selecting for tree planting projects in water scarcity regions. therefore, this investigation try to examine the chlorophyll content and stomatal conductivity in various species of trees and shrubs. the effects of environmental factors are als...

The objective of this experiment was to study of water relations and chlorophyll in different wheat genotypes and their correlations with grain and biological yields. 21 genotypes of bread wheat were compared in a field experiment as randomized complete blocks design with four replications. The results showed that relative water deficit, relative water loss, excised leaf water retention, cell m...

Chlorella, Chlorophyll-Protein Complexes, Polyacrylamide-Gel Electrophoresis, Standard Curves for Characterization of Chlorophyll Proteins Chlorophyll-protein complexes from thylakoids of the normal type and two mutants of Chlorella fusca were separated using sodium dodecyl sulfate acrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The properties of the chlorophyll-protein complexes of the three strains of...

Illumination of 3 day old etiolated radish seedlings with continuous white light results in a progressive accumulation of chlorophyll a and b. Both pigments are bound in a different way to the thylakoid chlorophyll-proteins, which appear parallel to the formation of chlorophylls. By applying the SDS-PAGE method to SDS-digested chloroplasts, it was possible to show that the chloroplasts of radis...

Chlorophyll b was first detectable after 10 minutes of illumination of etiolated pea seedlings (Pisum sativum L. var Greenfeast) with continuous white light. The chlorophyll a/b ratio decreased from 300 at 10 minutes to 15 after 1 hour. There was little change in the chlorophyll a/b ratio between 1 and 2 hours, and it declined to 3 between 2 and 5 hours of illumination. In red light, the time c...

The light harvesting like protein 3 (LIL 3) from higher plants, has been linked to functions in chlorophyll and tocopherol biosynthesis, photo-protection and chlorophyll transfer. However, the binding of chlorophyll to LIL3 is unclear. We present a reconstitution protocol for chlorophyll binding to LIL3 in DDM micelles. It is shown in the absence of lipids and carotenoids that reconstitution of...

Tonnage (T), Simmonds (S) avocado trees, and TxS crosses were evaluated for differences in chlorophyll content and maximal quantum yield of photosystem II in sun and shade-type leaves. Total chlorophyll content by area (Chl a+bar) ranged from 984 mg m in TxS240 to 4320 mg m in Simmonds. Chlorophyll a/b ratio (Chl a/b) ranged from 9.8 to 5.5 in TxS238 and TxS243, respectively. Tonnage and Simmon...
