Non-destructive measurement of chlorophyll b: a ratios and identification of photosynthetic pathways in grasses by reflectance spectroscopy

Abstract

Equations for non-destructive determination of chlorophyll b:a ratios in grasses were developed from reflectance spectra of intact leaves of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and two barley mutants: clorina f2, which lacks chlorophyll b and clorina f104, which
