The effect of Norflurazon on photosynthetic activity in isolated thylakoids from wheat (Triticum aestivum L : )

Aferdita, Hoti January 2006 (has links)
<p>This investigation has been performed on Norflurazon (NF) treated young wheat plants with</p><p>emphasis on their capacity to perform light-driven photosynthesis, as an effect of carotenoid </p><p>deficiency. The wheat seeds were soaked for approximately 17 hour in tap water or in water containing NF (28mg l-1 ca 10-4 M). Seedlings were grown for 7 days in a greenhouse (50 μmol m-2 s-1) or in weak light (ca 0.1 μmol m-2 s-1) in order to avoid photodestruction, before chloroplast and thylakoid isolation. NF-treatment and the low light condition also affected chlorophyll content.
