Chlorophyll fluorescence is a non-invasive measurement of photosystem II (PSII) activity and
is a commonly used technique in plant physiology. The sensitivity of PSII activity to abiotic …

The use of chlorophyll fluorescence to monitor photosynthetic performance in algae and
plants is now widespread. This review examines how fluorescence parameters can be used …

A number of useful photosynthetic parameters are commonly derived from saturation pulse-
induced fluorescence analysis. We show, that q P, an estimate of the fraction of open …

Previous studies have demonstrated that the independent stimulation of either electron
transport or RuBP regeneration can increase the rate of photosynthetic carbon assimilation …

Chlorophyll fluorescence has been routinely used for many years to monitor the
photosynthetic performance of plants non-invasively. The relationships between chlorophyll …

The trend to view many foods not only as sustenance but also as medicine, so-called
functional foods, is increasing. Phenolics are the most widespread dietary antioxidants, and …

The worldwide demand for Romaine lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is increasing. Regulation
measures of supplementary or shading light are often used in the production of lettuce in …

Stomata can be regarded as hydraulically driven valves in the leaf surface, which open to
allow CO2 uptake and close to prevent excessive loss of water. Movement of these …

High resolution digital imaging was used to identify sites of photo‐oxidative stress
responses in Arabidopsis leaves non‐invasively, and to demonstrate the potential of using a …

Over the next 40 years it has been estimated that a 50% increase in the yield of grain crops
such as wheat and rice will be required to meet the food and fuel demands of the increasing …
