Teosinte Glume Architecture 1
TGA1
- Function; Mutation Caused kernels to be naked.
- Benefit to man; Easy to prepare and eat.
- Disadvantage to plants: Seeds destroyed in the gust of wild animals.
Teosinte Branched 1
TB1
- Function:Reduced tillering and branching of stalk.
- Benefit to man: Small number of large ears.
- Disadvantage to plants: Fertilization less efficient.
Days To Harvest
- Many
- Function: Uniform time of flowering.
- Benefit to man: Single harvest.
- Disadvantage to plants: Subject to droughts, natural disasters.
Loss of Seed Dormancy
- Many
- Function: Seeds germinate upon planting
- Benefit to man: full stands of uniform grain.
- Disadvantage to plants: Fall germination and death of seedlings.
PAR
-Photosynthetically Active Radiation
PPF
- Photosynthetic Photon flux
- Amount of PAR Photons striking a unit area per unit of time.
- Measured in micromols per meter squared per second.
- Measures PAR between (400 to 700 nm)
PPF at noon on a summer day
200 umols m2- sec1-
PPF range for Photosynthetic compensation Point
- Varies from Species to species
- generally between 30 and 120 umols m2- sec1-
Photosynthesis
6CO2+6H20–sunlight–>C6H1206+6O2
What is produced by light reactions?
- ATP
- NADPH
- These are used to fuel Calvin Cycle
What is produced by Dark reactions?
-Uses ATP and NADPH to produce sugar.
Respiration
C6H1206+6O2—->6CO2+6H2O+36ATP
