“…The aim of this study was to investigate the response of the green algae Enallax costatus, the diatom Gomphonema parvulum and a culture of the cyanobacteria Phormidium sp. and Microcystis aeruginosa, to atrazine and S-metolachlor alone and in mixture (0, 10, 100 and 1000 µg.L−1, for 7 days). For each culture, chlorophyll fluorescence and effective quantum yield of photosynthesis were determined and compared with lipid and methyl-ester fatty acid profiles. …”

Photochemical activity in developing pea (<i>Pisum sativum</i> L.) cotyledons depends on the light transmittance of covering tissues and the spectral composition of light by G. N. Smolikova, N. V. Stepanova, A. M. Kamionskaya, S. S. Medvedev

“…PAM fluorometry was used to quantify the photochemical activity in plant tissues: this technique is handy for evaluating the efficiency of converting light energy into chemical energy through the analysis of the kinetics of chlorophyll fluorescence excitation and quenching. On average, a photochemically active green leaf of pea transmitted 15 % of solar radiation in the 390–760 nm, blue light was delayed entirely, and the transmitted red light never exceeded 5 %. …”
