The coloring mechanism of a novel golden variety in Populus deltoides based on the RGB color mode
Forestry Research, 2021 Compared to flower color and red leaf mutants, the mechanism of yellow leaf formation in woody plants is more complicated and less understood. Poplars are common and widely distributed perennial trees.

Saharan dust deposition may affect phytoplankton growth in the mediterranean sea at ecological time scales [PDF]
, 2014 The surface waters of the Mediterranean Sea are extremely poor in the nutrients necessary for plankton growth. At the same time, the Mediterranean Sea borders with the largest and most active desert areas in the world and the atmosphere over the basin is

Chlorophyll and Chlorophyll Catabolite Analysis by HPLC [PDF]
, 2018 The most obvious event of leaf senescence is the loss of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll degradation proceeds in a well-characterized pathway that, although being common to higher plants, yields a species-specific set of chlorophyll catabolites, termed phyllobilins.

Macronutrient Fertilization and Cadmium Absorption in Two Cocoa Clones
Horticulturae, 2023 Soil Cd is absorbed by roots and accumulated in cocoa plants, which represents a problem in the commercialization of beans. In order to evaluate whether the exogenous application of macronutrients (N, N-P, N-P-K, N-P-K-S, N-P-K-S-Mg, and N-P-K-S-Mg-Ca ...

Extinction coefficient for red-shifted chlorophylls: Chlorophyll d and chlorophyll f
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2012 Both chlorophyll f and chlorophyll d are red-shifted chlorophylls in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, which extend photon absorbance into the near infrared region. This expands the range of light that can be used to drive photosynthesis. Quantitative determination of chlorophylls is a crucial step in the investigation of chlorophyll-photosynthetic ...

Development of a handheld chlorophyll content detector on wheat and maize leaves based on RGB sensor
Frontiers in Plant ScienceChlorophyll-a (CL-a) and chlorophyll-b (CL-b) are major chlorophyll found in green plants. Determining the CL-a, CL-b, and total chlorophyll (TCL) contents is important to guide crop growth.
