Photosynthesis in Plants: Holly

Fluorescence Quantum Yield of Chlorophyll in Leaves of Holly Measured

We are lucky to have some holly just outside our factory in Scotland which makes us feel Christmassy all year round. Taking advantage of this we have measured the fluorescence quantum yield of its leaves as a function of temperature, using an FLS1000 with a Cryosphere accessory. The results give information on the photosynthesis process in holly and how it adapts to temperature changes.
