Abstract There is a lack of field methods for measuring plant and soil processes controlling soil organic matter (SOM) turnover over diurnal, seasonal and longer timescales with which to develop datasets for modelling. We describe an automated field system for measuring plant and soil carbon fluxes over such timescales using [...]
The light energy utilized during photosynthesis in higher plants is absorbed by chloroplast pigments (photosynthetic pigments). Chloroplast pigments are composed of chlorophyll A, chlorophyll B, carotene and lutein. The extraction, isolation and determination of chloroplast pigments is the first step in studying their properties and their roles in photosynthesis. The [...]
Determination of crop leaf area, leaf area index, leaf thickness and leaf angle Step#1: Leaves are the primary place for producing organic matter. The level of crop yield is positively correlated with the size of leaf area within a certain range. Usually, the size of leaf area of a crop [...]
What is a Cell crushing ultrasonic instrument An ultrasonic cell crusher is also called an ultrasonic microwave synergistic extraction instrument, an ultrasonic cell lysis instrument, or an ultrasonic nanomaterial pulverizer. Ultrasonic cell crushers employ powerful ultrasound to induce cavitation and treat material. It can be used for crushing cells, bacteria, viruses, [...]
