This video provides an overview of three essential instruments used in plant physiology research:
Instrument Demonstration
1. LI-6800 Portable Photosynthesis System
A versatile instrument designed to measure various aspects of photosynthesis in plants and aquatic samples. It can measure gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, and light response curves. Gas exchange refers to the exchange of gases between the plant and its environment, such as carbon dioxide uptake and oxygen release. Chlorophyll fluorescence is the emission of light by chlorophyll molecules, which can provide information about the efficiency of photosynthesis. Light response curves show how the rate of photosynthesis changes with different light intensities.
2. LI-180 Spectrometer
Instrument measures the spectral radiance or irradiance of light. In simpler terms, it measures the amount of light at different wavelengths. This information can be used to study how plants respond to different light conditions, or to characterize the light environment in different ecosystems.
3. SPAD-502Plus Chlorophyll meter
A handheld instrument that provides a non-destructive estimate of the chlorophyll content of leaves. Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives plants their green color and is essential for photosynthesis. By measuring chlorophyll content, researchers can gain insights into plant health and productivity.
