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...
Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) is an economically and ecologically important species in the southeastern
