Leaf edges show chlorosis starting from the tip due to lack of Chlorophyll. Affected leaves start falling and renew leaves masse as respond to stress conditions which also delay fruits maturation. Technological development in detecting the stress of high plants trough the leaf fluorescence and Chlorophyll concentration have led to the introduction of instruments which utilize fluorescence as a basis for determining stress level. The paper was aimed to show whether the productivity values calculated from Chlorophyll fluorescence Fv/Fm were comparable to those produced by spectrophotometric method in detecting Chlorophyll a concentration and SPAD values detected by Chlorophyll meter (SPAD-502). Measurements of nitrogen content were also provided in order to obtain accuracy of SPAD meter since Chlorophyll molecules contain nitrogen in their structure. To test the relationship between these three technique regression relationship was obtained. Regression coefficient between Fv/Fm values and Chlorophyll a concentration mg g-t was high. Also, strong regression coefficient was observed between Chlorophyll a and SPAD values indicating a good accuracy of this device which was also confirmed by good regression between nitrogen content and SPAD values. Fluorometer measurements on injured leaves samples of apricot have also reviled the Fv/Fm values below 0.83 which is in according with numerous authors who considered a line for indicating stress factors.展开更多

To explore the genetic basis of light responses of biomass and photosynthetic parameters in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was carried out in a doubled haploid (DH) population grown in low light (LL), medium light (ML), and high light (HL), respectively. The results showed that the wheat seedlings grown in HL produced more biomass with lower total chlorophyll content (Chl), carotenoid content, and maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) while the wheat seed-lings grown in LL produced less biomass with higher Chl compared with those grown in ML. In total, 48 QTLs were identified to be associated with the investigated parameters in relation to growth light intensities. These QTLs were mapped to 15 chromosomes which individually explained 6.3%-36.0% of the phenotypic variance, of which chromo-somes 3A, 1D, and 6B were specifically involved in LL response, 5D and 7A specifically involved in ML response, and 4B specifically involved in HL response. Several light-responsive QTLs were co-located with QTLs for photosyn-thetic parameters, biomass, and grain weight under various conditions which may provide new hints to uncover the genetic control of photosynthesis, biomass, and grain weight.展开更多
