Table 3.

The flourescence parameters showing phenomenological energy fluxes per cross-section approximated by maximal fluorescence Fm (CSm) and specific membrane model per a single reaction center (RC) in the cotyledonary leaves of R. communis for 4 day of exposure to CuSO4 (80 and 160 µM) and cytokinin (KIN and BAP) treatments in Hoagland’s nutrient medium. ABS/CSm & ABS/RC—absorption flux, TRo/CSm & TRo/RC—trapped energy flux, ETo/CSm & ETo/RC—electron transport flux and DIo/CSm & DIo/RC—dissipated energy flux. Values are the mean ± SE of three independent experiments. Different alphabetical letters indicate significant differences between treatments according to one-way ANOVA (Duncan’s test p ≤ 0.05).
