The function of anthocyanins in green, vegetative tissues has always been a contentious
issue. Here we evaluate their proposed photoprotective function since recent findings have …

Leaf colour change is commonly observed in temperate deciduous forests in autumn. This is
not simply a side effect of leaf senescence, and, in the past decade, several hypotheses …

Our knowledge of the ecology of tropical rain-forest trees is limited, with detailed information
available for perhaps only a few hundred of the many thousand of species that occur. Yet a …

The accumulation of foliar anthocyanins can be consistently attributed to a small range of
contexts. Foliar anthocyanin accumulates in young, expanding foliage, in autumnal foliage …

The protective role of leaf antioxidant systems in the mechanism of plant acclimation to
growth irradiance was studied in Vinca major, Schefflera arboricola, and Mahonia repens …

A, net CO2 assimilation rate E, leaf transpiration ETR, electron transport rate Fs,
fluorescence yield at steady state Fm and Fm', maximal fluorescence levels when all PSII …

The present experiment was done to evaluate the impact of ambient air pollution on carrot
(Dacus carota var. Pusa Kesar) plants using open top chambers (OTCs) ventilated with …

The susceptibility to photoinhibition of tree species from three different successional stages
were examined using chlorophyll fluorescence and gas exchange techniques. The three …

Prolonged exposure of plants to high fluxes of solar radiation as well as to other
environmental stressors disturbs the balance between absorbed light energy and capacity of …

Chlorophyll (Chi) a fluorescence has become an important non-invasive tool to investigate
the utilization and dissipation of absorbed light energy in photosynthesis. In particular …
