Feeling #grateful to be finding #highbushblueberries around #myyard This one is #growing almost in the #driveway I will transplant several to a sunnier part of my yard in hope next year they will flower and set fruit! #blueberry #ericaceae #vacciniumcorymbosum #ncnativeplants #ilovegardening #ilovemylife (at Gerton, North Carolina)

Dynamics of photosynthetic pigments content in leaves of Vaccinium corymbosum L. during vegetation

[Open Access] [en]  https://doi.org/10.15407/frg2021.01.055 #Vacciniumcorymbosum #chlorophyll #carotenoids #ontogenesis #Vaccinium The quantitative indices of plastid photosynthetic pigments in the leaves of deciduous shrubbery Vaccinium corymbosum L., which grow in the same climatic conditions in the south of Belarus, were studied in order to quantify and compare seasonal changes in the efficiency of photosynthesis. For each variety of the studied plants V. corymbosum L., certain differences were noted on the content of photosynthetic pigments in regard to the ontogenetic stage, in particular to the natural light period, which manifested in the relative content of chlorophylls a and b, the ratio between them, the relative content of carotenoids to chlorophylls. The data obtained on the absolute and relative plastid pigments content, as well as on the ratio between them, indicate the presence of varietal specificity in the plant reaction on reducing the length of daylight hours.
