Application of chlorophyll fluorescence for the diagnosis of salt stress in tomato “Solanum lycopersicum (variety Rio Grande)”

Impact of salt stress on photosystem II efficiency and antioxidant enzyme activities of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) cultivars

“…With the 225 mM NaCl treatment, these parameters declined distinctly only in Yenice. Zribi et al (2009) showed a high correlation between either ΦPSII and qP or ΦPSII and F′ V /F′ M . In this study our data showed that decreased ΦPSII was more related to F′ V /F′ M than qP because F′ V /F′ M , which expressed the level of quenching in PSII reaction centers and antenna, was affected more than qP under salt stress.…”

Photosynthetic Responses of Tomato Leaves to Salt and Cadmium Stresses: Growth and Chlorophyll a Fluorescence Kinetic Analyses

“…Under stress conditions, plant growth is affected by stress factors in different ways [71], and the photosynthetic process appears to be particularly sensitive to NaCl [72][73] and Cd [69,74]. Photosynthesis inhibition may be ascribed to stomatal and/or nonstomatal limitations, [75][76].…”

Comparative studies on the photosynthetic characteristics of two maize (Zea mays L.) near-isogenic lines differing in their susceptibility to low light intensity

“…Chlorophyll fluorescence can reflect an ability to endure the stresses of environmental changes and the degree to which those stress events injure the photosynthetic organs or tissues of a plant; therefore, fluorescence parameters are a feasible tool for diagnosis of stress-induced changes in PSII, and they are regarded as a crucial marker of the response of photosynthesis to environmental stress (Naumann et al, 2008;Zribi et al, 2009). Due to the sensitivity, convenience, and nonintrusive characteristics of chlorophyll fluorescence, it correctly reflects the changes of photosynthesis in a low light environment (Dai et al, 2009).…”
