chlorophyll fluorescence (CF)
chlorophyll fluorescence (CF)
1. Introduction to chlorophyll fluorescence (CF)
- CF curve – Fo, Fm, Fv = Fm-Fo
- identification of Fo as most important
2. Design of the HarvestWatch system
- produces Fα as an estimate of Fo
- important features of HarvestWatch system
3. Applications of HarvestWatch system
- control O2 in CA stores
- monitor water loss in fruit, e.g. grapes
4. Concluding Remarks
F is an estimate of Fo at zero irradiance
F is very sensitive to water loss in grapes
Continuous and non-destructive
Change in F stops at ca. 20-25% water loss
F declines with water loss whereas it Changes in water loss in the field may be
measurable by new FIRe fluorescence system increases in low O2
