Chlorophyll as a measure of plant health: Agroecological aspects
As photosynthesis is the basic process during which light energy is absorbed and converted into organic matter, the importance of the plant pigment chlorophyll (a and b forms) as an intermediary in transformation of the absorbed solar energy and its activity in the process of photosynthesis and s...

description |
As photosynthesis is the basic process during which light energy is absorbed and converted
into organic matter, the importance of the plant pigment chlorophyll (a and b forms) as an intermediary
in transformation of the absorbed solar energy and its activity in the process of photosynthesis
and synthesis of organic substances in plants are crucial. Therefore, this paper provides
an overview of methods for monitoring the optical activity of chlorophyll molecules and
methods (non-destructive and destructive) for quantification of chlorophyll in plants. These
methods are used to estimate the effects of different stress factors (abiotic, biotic and xenobiotic)
on the efficiency of photosynthesis and bioproductivity, aiming to assess the impact that
these limiting factors have on the yield of various cultivars. Also, those methods for analysis of
chlorophyll optical activity and/or content are appropriate for assessing the reaction of weed
species to different agricultural practices (mineral nutrition, treatment by herbicides, etc.) and
studies of different aspects of weed ecophysiology and their influence on crop harvest. |
