Objetivo CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PHYSIOLOGY OF FOREST TREES DAMAGED BY AIR POLLUTANTS. THE ALTERATION OF THE PLANT METABOLISM DUE TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCE COMPARED WITH NOT INJURED TREES SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE PROJECT IS DIVIDED INTO 4 MAIN POINTS: 1. ADAPTATION OF BIOCHEMICAL TESTS TO THE NEW PLANT MATERIAL 2. INVESTIGATIONS OF THE PLANT WATER RELATIONS A. WATER POTENTIAL, OSMOTIC POTENTIAL B. CONCENTRATIONS OF SOLUBLE SUGARS, PROTEINS AND THE AMINO ACID PROLIN IN THE LEAVES C. DRY AND FRESH WEIGHTS 3. CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PHOTOSYNTHETIC APPARATUS A. MEASUREMENTS OF THE CO2 EXCHANGES AND TRANSPIRATION B. BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS: CONTENT OF PIGMENTS, STARCH AND IMPORTANT IONS C. KEY ENZYMES: RUBP-CARBOXYLASE, CYTOCHOME F, GLUTAMIN SYNTHETASE, CATALASE AND PEROXIDASE 4. MORPHOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF LEAF, SHOOT AND ROOT (INCLUSIVE ELECTRON MICROSCOPY) Programa(s) PRE-ENVPROT 3C - Sectoral research and development programme (EEC) in the field of environment (environmental protection and climatology) - indirect and concerted actions - Environmental protection -, 1981-1985 Tema(s) Data not available Convocatoria de propuestas Data not available Régimen de financiación CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinador JOHANNES GUTENBERG UNIVERSITAET MAINZ Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección Staudinger Weg 7 55099 MAINZ Alemania Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos
