Leaf chlorophyll content of ornamental plants: a choice of destructive or non-destructive measurement

Most leaf chlorophyll determination requires collection and chemical extraction of tissue samples. This destructive method may not be suitable for the time series experiments and studies involving gas exchanges where the in situ measurements of total leaf chlorophyll are needed. Thus, in this study,...
