Leaf Gas Exchange and Root Nodulation Respond to Planting Density in Soybean [Glycine max (L) Merrill] by Louis Hortensius Mwamlima, Josephine Pamela Ouma, Erick Kimutai Cheruiyot

“…Increasing number of plants per unit area significantly (p<0.001) reduced root nodulation, stomata conductance, sub-stomatal CO2 concentration, photosynthetic and transpiration rates. Total chlorophyll content was not responsive to planting density though concentration of chlorophyll “a” content was significantly (p<0.005) higher at lower plant density than at higher plant density. …”

Circular dichroism of relativistically–moving chiral molecules by Mitchell R. Whittam, Benedikt Zerulla, Marjan Krstić, Maxim Vavilin, Christof Holzer, Markus Nyman, Lukas Rebholz, Ivan Fernandez-Corbaton, Carsten Rockstuhl

“…Specifically, the effect of a relativistic motion on the transmission circular dichroism (TCD) of three life–essential biomolecules, namely, B–DNA, chlorophyll a, and chlorophyll b, is investigated. Inspired by previous experiments to detect interstellar chiral molecules, we assume that the molecules move between a stationary observer and a light source, and we study the rotationally averaged TCD as a function of the speed of the molecule.We find that the TCD spectrum that contains the signatures of the molecules shifts with increasing speed to shorter wavelengths, with the effects already being visible for moderate velocities.…”
