Practical Applications of Chlorophyll Fluorescence in Plant Biology (Hardcover, 2003 ed.)

As this book will demonstrate, there have been numerousdevelopments in the instrumentation and approaches for use ofchlorophyll fluorescence as a probe to plant adaptation to anenvironment or as an indicator of the level of stress. The advantageof chlorophyll fluorescence over many other techniques is that itprovides rapid and nondestructive measures. The first two chapters ofthis book are devoted to provide a clear, understandable explanationof the theoretical basis for chlorophyll fluorescence analysis. Thedefinitions and terminology that are specific to chlorophyllfluorescence analysis are included in this discussion, which leads tothe bridging of chlorophyll fluorescence analysis to plant tissuecondition status. Subsequent chapters focus on the monitoring ofstress in the natural terrestrial and aquatic environments, assessingseedling quality in forestry, and postharvest quality in fruits andvegetables. A final chapter is devoted to a newly emerging use for thetechnique in plant breeding programs. It is the hope of the editorsand authors that readers who have not used this technique will beencouraged to explore the possibilities in their area of study. Forthose who have used the technique previously, we hope that this bookwill offer some new insights, which may encourage development and/orrefinement of approaches. Ultimately, we hope that the contents ofthis work will contribute in some manner to advances in theunderstanding of plant-environment interactions and hence toimprovements in the environmental quality, as well as in forestry andagri-food industries.
