Photophosphorylation by swiss-chard chloroplasts

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1960
Abstract 1. 1. The preparation of chloroplasts and chloroplast fragments from swiss-chard, which were active in photophosphorylation is described. A chloroplast preparation stable for 24–48 h could be obtained. 2. 2. A sensitive assay for the ATP formed was adopted.

Provitamin A, Nutrient Analysis, and Plant Growth of Hydroponically Grown Swiss Chard Cultivars

Hortscience
Leafy crops, like Swiss chard, are known to be natural sources of provitamin A, but little is known which cultivars and plant parts have greater amounts.

Boosting Swiss Chard Germination with Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet

Journal of Nepal Physical Society
This study was carried out to reveal the effect of non thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet on germination of Swiss chard seed. The Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet has been characterized by electrical and optical methods.

Response of nutrient elements to Nemarioc-AL® phytonematicide in Swiss chard under greenhouse conditions

International Journal of Vegetable Science, 2023
Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris L. var. cicla) is susceptible to the root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) since registered nematicides for this vegetable are not readily available.

Application of high Cu compost to Swiss chard and basil

The Science of The Total Environment, 2003
A greenhouse container experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of high Cu compost on basil and Swiss chard productivity, and the accumulation of As, Ca, Fe, Hg, K, Mg, Na, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, S and Se in growth medium and plant tissue.

Assessment of human health risk associated with heavy metals from the consumption of Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris L.) exposed to low-quality irrigation water of different types

International Journal of Environmental Health Research
Population growth requires food production and supports wastewater reuse for irrigation, practice which introduces toxic metals into soil, severely affecting plant and human health.

Light inactivation of photophosphorylation by swiss-chard chloroplasts

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1960
Abstract 1. 1. Photophosphorylation by swiss-chard chloroplasts was rapidly inactivated by preincubation of the reaction mixture in light. 50% inactivation was observed after 90 sec exposure to 160, 000 lux. 2. 2. The presence of phenazine methosulfate during the light preincubation period largely prevented the inactivation. 3. 3.

Physiological Response to Sodium Chloride of Wild Swiss Chard

Journal of Plant Nutrition, 2005
ABSTRACT The present work was aimed at determining the limits of tolerance to sodium chloride (NaCl) of a halophyte, Beta macrocarpa Guss (wild Swiss chard). Five week-old plants were cultivated with a nutritive solution to which was added 0, 100, 200, and 300 mM NaCl. Plants were harvested after four weeks of treatment.

Kinetics of Folacin Destruction in Swiss Chard During Storage

Journal of Food Science, 1985
ABSTRACT The folacin activities in fresh Swiss chard leaves stored in open air at 4, 21, 35 and 40°C were determined by a microbiological assay using Lactobacillus casei. At 21°C the leaves were also stored in plastic bags and under moist conditions.
