Abstract Chlorophylls from plants are photosynthetic pigments. Their quantity offers valuable informations about photosynthetic activity, growing and developing of plants. Photosynthetic pigments decrease quantitatively during senescence process or in stress conditions. The present study has been realized in laboratory conditions with material harvested from spontaneous flora. The purpose of this research was the investigation of variations of chlorophyll content from samples of biological material collected from Nepeta pannonica L. and Abies alba Mill. plants, from Câmpulung Moldovenesc and Cacica areas, Suceava county, Romania. The targeted phenophases were growth and flowering. There were realized acetonic extracts from samples for spectrophotometric determinations. Obtained data were processed to estabilish chlorophyll a and b content. There were observed that at Abies alba species, from both locations, the chlorophyll a content grew during flowering phenophase, while the chlorophyll b content had little variations. At Nepeta pannonica species, the chlorophyll a and b content decreased visibly during the flowering, due to stress. Leaves of plants from this species presented a intense green color in the growing phenophase, while during flowering phenophase they had a purple or yellow coloration. Obtained results revealed a different dynamics of chlorophyll content at studied species.

Photosynthetic pigments play an important role in the accumulation of dry matter and they can be the markers of stress. Change in the ratio of chlorophyll A and B indicates physiological changes and adaptation of the organism to changes of environmental conditions. Sowing terms and application of nitrogen fertilizers are long-term factors, so the content of chlorophylls in the flag leaf indicates long-term adaptation of the photosynthetic system. Establishing a relationship between the chlorophyll content at anthesis and the accumulation of dry matter in posy-anthesis period indicates the varietal response of triticale to fertilization and sowing dates. It was conducted a three-factor field experiment. There are studied two winter and one facultative triticale cultivar, two autumn sowing terms and fertilization system with application the different rates of nitrogen fertilizers in different growth stages. It was found that the content of photosynthetic pigments in each variety varied depending on sowing term and fertilizer system in terms of mg per 1 g of dry matter for chlorophyll A, B and the amount of A+B. At the same time, the difference between the factors and their interactions was insignificant for the total chlorophyll mass per unit area (g/m2) for chlorophyll A and the amount of A+B, but it was significant for chlorophyll B by the fertilizer system factor. This indicates that the main stress signal is chlorophyll B, so the ratio of chlorophyll A and B differed significantly depending on this factor. Cla: Clb ratio in the optimal sowing period is 5.3–8.1 in cv. Pidzimok kharkivskiy, 4.8–8.3 in cv. Amur and 5.0–6.7 in cv. Obriy mironivskiy. All cultivars have a strong positive correlation between the chlorophyll content at anthesis and accumulation of dry matter at post-anthesis perion under optimal conditions, but facultative triticale Pidzimok kharkivskiy has a negative correlation with unfavorable, due to increased chlorophyll, without increasing dry matter accumulation. Further study of the relationship between chlorophyll content and the synthesis of primary and secondary metabolites is promising in the study of varietal response to stress and agronomic factors.

Chlorophyll content of seagrass leaves varies among species and habitats byat least a factor of five, and shows plastic responses to seasonal variations in light availability as well as direct experimental manipulation. This study generally attempted to observe the relative amount of chlorophyll a, b content of Haloduleuninervis and Halodule pinifolia in Central Visayas, Philippines in relation tothese environmental factors which are: exposure, density, temperature, and lightintensity. Chlorophyll was determined using the equation of Jeffrey and Humprey(1975) whereas data gathered went through one way ANOVA followed byTukey’s Test. Significant variations were found in most photosynthetic parametersmeasured in this study. Overall, H. uninervis and H. pinifolia seems to obtainoptimal photosynthetic performances over a broad range of irradiances. Mainly,genus Halodule can be seen as a highlight species, which has also the ability to acclimate to low irradiances. in general, the result indicated that seagrasses tend to decrease the ratio of chlorophyll a:b by increasing the amount of chlorophyllb to compensate for the decline in light intensity in subtidal areas. Therefore, H.uninervis and H. pinifolia seem to have the ability of adjusting their chlorophyllcontent in performing optimal photosynthetic activity over a broad range of irradiance regimes.Keywords: Marine Ecology, chlorophyll content, seagrass, Halodule, experimental design,Philippines

Genotypes of nectarine with red leaves were created in Nikita botanical gardens.They have commercially valuable properties and biological characteristics (resistanceto powdery mildew, large-fruited, the ability of transmitting the trait of redleaves with constant result to progeny seed, etc. ). The aim of our researches was tostudy the main indicators of photoactivity of leaf apparatus of nectarine with greenand anthocyanin leaves coloration. Investigations have been carried out in 2010-2015 on intact leaf plates for three cultivars and forms of nectarine with greenleaves – Rubinoviy-8 (control), Chemus, Krymtsuht 53-85 and 2 forms withanthocyanin coloration of leaf plate (NektadianaKrasnolistnaya 996-88, Krasnola495-86). Photosynthetic activity was characterized by chlorophyll fluorescenceparameters (Kautsky effect). The content of chlorophyll a and b were determinedby spectrophotometry. The cultivar Rubinoviy-8 and the form - Krasnola 495-86were selected according to intensity indicators of the primary reactions ofphotosynthesis. Anthocyanin forms concede cultivar Rubinoviy-8 in efficiency ofthe primary reactions of photosynthesis an average of 48-50%; but they exceednectarines Chemus and Krymtsuht 53-85 with green color of leaves of 23-25%.The efficiency of energy supply in the "dark" reactions of photosynthesis in allvarieties and forms of nectarine maintained within 41-46%. But the further abilityto utilize received energy is most efficiently implemented at the nectarine cultivarRubinoviy-8 and form Krasnola 495-86. The forms of red-leaved nectarine incomparison with traditional cultivars are distinguished by a great potential forretaining the stability and productivity of the functioning of the photosyntheticapparatus.

Chlorophylls have been extensively investigated both experimentally and theoretically owing to the fact that they are essential for photosynthesis. We have studied two forms of chlorophyll, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, by means of density functional theory. Optimization of S0, S1 and T1 states was performed with the B3-LYP functional. The computed fluorescence lifetimes show good agreement with the available experimental data. The electronic adiabatic energies of S1 and T1 states are 2.09/2.12 and 1.19/1.29 eV for chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b respectively. We discussed the implications of this results on the triplet formation. Also, the calculated vertical ionization potentials shows good agreement with the experimental results.

Chlorophyll is an important factor which also affects the yield in maize. In this study, genetic analysis of chlorophyll content was conducted by joint segregation analysis of four generations P1, P2, F1 and F2:4 from the cross Shen3336?Shen3265 using the mixed major genes and polygenes inheritance models. Genetics of chlorophyll revealed that chlorophyll ?a? was controlled by two main gene having additive-dominanceepistasis effects. The heritability of these genes were 56.3%. Chlorophyll ?b? was controlled by two pairs of codominant major gene plus additive-dominance polygene. The heritability of these major genes and polygenes were 1.12% and 93.26% respectively. Chlorophyll ?a+b? was controlled by two pairs of additive-dominance- epistatic major genes plus additive-dominance polygene having heritability of 56.2% and 5.2% respectively.

Purpose. The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of pre-sowing treatment of winter rye seeds of Synthetic 38 and Zabava with compositions of metabolically active substances on the content of photosynthetic pigments in plant leaves at different phases of ontogenesis. Materials and methods. The research materials were winter rye varieties Synthetic 38 and Zabava, and combinations of metabolically active substances: vitamin E (10-8M), paraoxybenzoic acid (0,001%), methionine (0,001%), ubiquinone-10 (10-8M) and MgSO4 (0,001%). The research scheme provided 4 options: 1) control (untreated seeds); 2) seeds, treated with a composition of substances: vitamin E + paraoxybenzoic acid + methionine + MgSO4; 3) seeds treated with a composition of substances: vitamin E + paraoxybenzoic acid + methionine; 4) seeds, processing by composition of substances: vitamin E + ubiquinone-10. Studies were conducted in the following phases of rye development: tillering, tubing, earing, flowering. The content of pigments - chlorophyll a, b and the total content of chlorophyll in the leaves of rye plants was determined by spectrophotometric method. Results and conclusions. It was demonstrated for the first time that the use of compositions of metabolically active compounds for pre-sowing treatment of winter rye varieties Synthetic 38 and Zabava leads to an increase of main chlorophyll, chlorophyll a and b in plant leaves in the dynamics from tillering to flowering. The composition consisting of vitamin E, para-oxybenzoic acid, methionine and MgSO4 showed the greatest efficiency. The effectiveness of this composition may be due to the complex action of all metabolically active compounds that are part of it. The obtained results may indicate a potentially more efficient absorption and conversion of energy by plants and the positive effect of these compositions on the photosynthesis of winter rye plants. Substances that have shown their effectiveness can be used as components of stimulants.
