Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The tropical plant Ficus microcarpa L. f. cv. Golden Leaves (GL) is a high-light sensitive tropical fig tree in which sun-leaves are yellow and shade-leaves are green. We compared the response of photosynthetic activities to strong light between GL and its wild-type (WT, Ficus microcarpa L. f.). RESULTS: Field measurements of maximum photosystem II (PSII) efficiency (Fv/Fm) of intact sun-leaves in GL...
