Estimation of Chlorophyll Content in Young and Adult Leaves of Some Selected Plants in Non-Polluted Areas
Journal Title: International Journal of Botany and Research (IJBR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
In the present study chlorophyll, a (Chl. a) and b (Chl. b) content of ten different plants have been recorded. The qualitative difference of chlorophyll a (Chl.a) and b (Chl.b) content between young and adult leaves were observed. A total of ten plant species were selected namely Mango (Mangifera indica L.), Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensisL.), Neem (AzadirachtaindicaJuss.), Ashoka (PolyalthialongifoliaSonner.Thw.,Enum.), vad (Ficus benghalensis L.) and Nerium (NeriumindicumMill .Gard)Datura (DaturastramoniumL.) Babul (Acacia nilotica(L)Willd.ex.Del.SspS.indica (Benth).Brenan)Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd), pimpal (Ficus religiosa L).were used for analysis of chlorophyll content. In all the cases the adult leaves showed higher chlorophyll content in comparison to young leaves. This has been proved that the age of leaves was an important factor for chlorophyll content
