Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Long-term water deficiency increased proline concentration in greenhouse tomato leaves compared with well-watered plants.
- Intervention effect PAM chlorophyll fluorescence showed significant differences between control and water-deficit treatment in relative apparent electron transport rate and qP.
- Intervention effect The fluorescence indices BFRR_UV and FLAV significantly increased during water deficiency in tomato.
- Intervention effect The fluorescence index NBI significantly decreased during water deficiency in tomato.
- Method / resource Compared with qP, the ratios BFRR_UV and FLAV gave information of equivalent quality on genotype-specific responses to water deficiency.
- Method / resource The authors conclude that the multiple fluorescence excitation technique is a valuable, fast and practical tool for in situ monitoring of plant physiological status without the dark adaption that PAM recordings need.
