Martina PY - 2012 PB - Firenze : Firenze University Press, DB - UniCat KW - Chlorophyll KW - Analysis. UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:137588662 AB - The book begins with a detailed description of the characteristics of the photosynthetic apparatus and the processes that take place there, to then present the general principles of fluorescence. After that, it gives a description of the characteristics of direct and modulated fluorescence and a presentation of the shared and distinctive parameters of these two techniques. Then a brief presentation is made of other innovative approaches to the analysis of fluorescence (Chlorophyll Fluorescence Imaging - CFI, P700 absorbance, delayed fluorescence) and the relative tools. An important part of the book comprises a description of the possible applications of fluorescence techniques for the analysis of various types of stress (aridity, strong light radiations, UV, high and low temperatures, salinity, weed-killers, pollution, etc.) and, consequently, their possible use in agriculture, forestry and to protect the environment.
