Chlorophyll fluorescence analysis in diverse rice varieties reveals the positive correlation between the seedlings salt tolerance and photosynthetic efficiency

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2019
Photosynthetic efficiency might be a key factor determining plant resistance to abiotic stresses. Plants can sense when growing conditions are not favorable and trigger an internal response at an early stage before showing external symptoms.

Chlorophylls - natural solar cells [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
A molecular modeling study was conducted on a series of six natural occurring chlorophylls. Quantum chemistry calculated orbital energies were used to estimate frequency of transitions between occupied molecular orbital and unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels of chlorophyll molecules in vivo conditions in standard (ASTMG173) environmental ...

Linking chlorophyll a fluorescence to photosynthesis for remote sensing applications: mechanisms and challenges.

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2014
Chlorophyll a fluorescence (ChlF) has been used for decades to study the organization, functioning, and physiology of photosynthesis at the leaf and subcellular levels. ChlF is now measurable from remote sensing platforms.

Global and time-resolved monitoring of crop photosynthesis with chlorophyll fluorescence

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2014
Significance Global food and biofuel production and their vulnerability in a changing climate are of paramount societal importance. However, current global model predictions of crop photosynthesis are highly uncertain.

Representative Pathways of Excitation Migration in Photosystem I [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Physics 119, 1313 (2003), 2002
Photosystem I is a protein-pigment complex that performs photosynthesis in plants, green algae, and cyanobacteria. It contains an aggregate of chlorophylls that absorbs light and delivers the resulting electronic excitation to the special pair of chlorophylls where the excitation energy is used for producing charge separation across the cell membrane ...

Biologically inspired graphene-chlorophyll phototransistors with high gain [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
We present prominent photoresponse of bio-inspired graphene-based phototransistors sensitized with chlorophyll molecules. The hybrid graphene-chlorophyll phototransistors exhibit a high gain of 10^6 electrons per photon and a high responsivity of 10^6 A/W, which can be attributed to the integration of high-mobility graphene and the photosensitive ...

Upstream Causes of Downstream Effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The United States Environmental Protection Agency considers nutrient pollution in stream ecosystems one of the U.S. most pressing environmental challenges. But limited independent replicates, lack of experimental randomization, and space- and time-varying confounding handicap causal inference on effects of nutrient pollution. In this paper the causal g-

Effects of sucrose and irradiance on germination and early gametophyte growth of the endangered tree fern Dicksonia sellowiana Hook (Dicksoniaceae) Efeito da sacarose e irradiância na germinação e crescimento inicial do gametófito da samambaia arbórea Dicksonia sellowiana Hook (Dicksoniaceae) em perigo de extinção

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2004
It is an endangered tree fern that grows in mixed umbrophylus forests in the tropics. Sterilized spores were germinated at 25 ± 2ºC under a 16-hour photoperiod, in Dyer and MS medium supplemented with 0 to 5% sucrose.

Applications of chlorophyll fluorescence can improve crop production strategies: an examination of future possibilities.

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Botany, 2004
Chlorophyll fluorescence has been routinely used for many years to monitor the photosynthetic performance of plants non-invasively. The relationships between chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and leaf photosynthetic performance are reviewed in the ...

Integrated studies of the response of the photosynthetic apparatus of the Siberian spruce (Picea obovata Ledeb.) to the effects of UV-B radiation [PDF]

open access: yesЖурнал Сибирского федерального университета: Серия Биология, 2010
The nature of the effect of ultraviolet radiation on the physiological processes of plants depends on the wavelength, intensity and the duration of the exposure.
