Spectroscopy of biophysical, physiological and pathological responses of plant germplasm

Creator:

Li, Ning

Abstract:

Imaging spectra of plant tissues yield considerable potential and useful information for basic studies and agriculture practice. We constructed an imaging spectrophotometer with spectral range from 400 nm to 1100 nm, which was used to study various physiological events of plant germplasm: location of bundle sheath and mesophyll cells in...

Dissertation
Imaging fluorescent determination of energetics of chloroplast division and related matters

Creator:

Zheng, Ping

Abstract:

During exploration of imaging photosynthetic fluorimetry of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants, we discovered a novel phenomenon wherein photosynthetic efficiency (defined in Ning et al., 1995) is shown to plot in discrete groups. This exploration resulted first in the development of a spectrofluorometric method that apparently allows for in vivo observation of...

Dissertation
Degradation kinetics of taxol using mass spectroscopy

Creator:

Zhang, Jun

Abstract:

Paclitaxel is a very important anticancer drug commonly called Taxol®. We know from previous work (Hoffman, et al., 1998) that Taxol exists in filbert, Corylus avellana L. material. Quantification of Taxol in filbert plant material is painstaking and hitherto was accomplished by rapidly processing single batches in a complicated procedure...
