Phytotoxicity and Distribution of Sorgoleone in Grain Sorghum Germplasm
Sorgoleone inhibited photosynthetic oxygen evolution...effect similar to diuron, a strong inhibitor of PSII electron transport. (University of Kentucky, University of Nebraska, and Purdue University)

Chlorophyll Fluorescence and Whole Fruit Senescence in Golden Delicious Apple
Chlorophyll fluorescence was used as a non-invasive probe to study senescence in refrigerated air-stored apple fruit. (Michigan State University)

Chloroplast Fluorescence can be Used as a Nondestructive Tool for Quality Measurements of Stored Apple Fruit
The accuracy, speed of assessment and light-based nature of fluorometry suggest it may have some practical use as a tool for sorting apple and other chlorophyll-containing fruit on commercial packing lines. (Michigan State University and Oklahoma State University)
