Hyperspectral Imager measures plant photosynthesis activity.

2014-04-28 14:30:28| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today

By applying Fraunhofer Line Depth Method, AisaIBIS delivers ground and airborne measurement of sun induced fluorescence from plants. High dynamic range, high signal-to-noise ratio, and spectral resolution of 0.25 nm enables imager to map fluorescence from single leaves to complete ecosystems. Measured fluorescence can be used as indicator of photosynthetic activity of plant, indicating its health and vitality.

Dual role of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis: Pioneering findings

2014-04-14 19:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: Researchers at Ume University in Sweden have found that carbon dioxide, in its ionic form bicarbonate, has a regulating function in the splitting of water in photosynthesis. This means that carbon dioxide has an additional role to being reduced to sugar. The pioneering work is published in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It is well known that inorganic carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, CO2, is reduced in a light driven process known as photosynthesis...
