Peel, pulp and seed extracts of three mandarin varieties, namely Phlegraean mandarin (Citrus reticulata), Kumquat (Citrus japonica), and Clementine (Citrus clementina) were compared and characterised in terms of photosynthetic pigment content, total polyphenols amount, antioxidant activity and vitamin C to assess the amount of functional compounds for each cultivar. The highest polyphenols content was found in the Phlegraean mandarin, especially in peel and seeds, whereas Kumquat exhibited the highest polyphenols amount in the pulp. The antioxidant activity was higher in the peel of Phlegraean mandarin and clementine compared to Kumquat, which showed the highest value in the pulp. The antioxidant activity peaked in the seeds of Phlegraean mandarin. The vitamin C in the Phlegraean mandarin was the highest in all parts of the fruit, especially in the seeds. Total chlorophyll content was comparable in the peel of different cultivars, in the pulp the highest amount was found in clementine, whereas kumquat seeds showed the greatest values. As regards total carotenoids, peel and pulp of clementine exhibited higher values than the other two cultivars, whereas the kumquat seeds were the richest in carotenoids. Among the analysed cultivars Phlegraean mandarin may be considered the most promising as a source of polyphenols and antioxidants, compared to the clementine and Kumquat, especially for the functional molecules found in the seeds. Moreover, regardless of cultivars this study also highlights important properties in the parts of the fruit generally considered wastes.

By using a new kind of single-beam normalized photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy (PAS-CT) technology with non-damage detection, the photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy and optical absorption properties of green and yellow leaves ofBauhinia blakeanawere studied. The results show that: the photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy ofBauhinia blakeanaleaves could be obtained from different chopping frequency and different sample positions, and photosynthetic pigment content of their leaves is closely related to their photosynthetic intensity. The more photosynthetic pigment content the leaves ofBauhinia blakeanacontain, the bigger optical absorption coefficient and the higher photosynthetic efficiency they have. The photosynthetic pigment content of the green leaves ofBauhinia blakeanais higher than that of the yellow ones. As a result, the photosynthesis of green leaves is better than that of the yellow ones. According to the results of our research, the photosynthetic efficiency ofBauhinia blakeanacould be improved and its growth time could be effectively controlled to enhance the growth ofBauhinia blakeana. Furthermore, it could play an important role on the development of forestry, and meet the need of forest for 6 billion people. The research showed high science value to the study and applications of the photosynthesis of plants.

By using a new kind of single-beam normalized photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy (PAS-CT) technology with non-damage detection, the photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy, optical absorption properties and photosynthetic pigment content of green and red leaves ofBischofia javanicawere studied. The results show that: the photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy ofBischofia javanicaleaves could be obtained from different chopping frequency and different sample positions, and photosynthetic pigment content of their leaves is closely related to their photosynthetic intensity.

By using a new kind of single-beam normalized photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy (PAS-CT) technology with non-damage detection, the photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy, optical absorption properties and photosynthetic pigment content of the green and yellow leaves of Cinnamomum camphora were studied. The results show that: photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy could be obtained from different chopping frequency and different sample position. The more photosynthetic pigment content the leaves of Cinnamomum camphora contains, the bigger optical absorption coefficient and the higher photosynthetic efficiency they have. In the research, we could find that the photosynthetic pigment content of the green leaves of Cinnamomum camphora is higher than that of the red ones. As a result, the optical absorption coefficient and the photosynthetic efficiency of the green ones are higher than the red ones. The photo-acoustic tomography spectroscopy technology could be a kind of non-damage detection to confirm the growth of trees.

Red microalga Porphyridium purpureum adaptive abilities to copper intoxication were studied. Cell number dynamics and morphology, contents of chlorophyll a and carotenoids were used as test-points. The experiment was conducted in two stages. At the first stage the effect of copper in concentrations of 50 and 100 µg·l−1 was studied; at the second stage the alga adaptive abilities to growth in copper contaminated medium were assessed. At the first stage copper concentration of 50 µg·l−1 didn’t influence the parameters under study. Addition of 100 µg·l−1 caused growth inhibition and photosynthetic pigment content decrease. At the second stage after transferring alga to a medium with 50 µg·l−1 copper concentration from a medium with similar conditions, cell number and photosynthetic pigment content were not significantly different from the control ones. Part of the cells deformed, chloroplasts became darkened. Transferring to a medium with 100 µg·l−1 from a medium with 50 µg·l−1 copper concentration caused growth delay; most of the cells in suspension were with dark, granulated chloroplast. Cells transferring from a medium with 100 µg·l−1 to a medium with the same concentration resulted in growth inhibition and photosynthetic pigment content decrease. Part of the cells in suspension became lager than in control and with great amount of mucilage. Complete adaptation of P. purpureum to copper intoxication didn’t occur.
