title: [Luminescent indicators in various parts of wheat leaves in ontogenesis].
abstract: A comparative study of slow fluorescence induction, fluorescence spectra, thermoluminescence, photosynthetic activity and chlorophyll content in ontogenesis of wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L, cv. Yubileinayd) grown in the laboratory conditions was carried out. It was shown that (FM-FT)/FT values of slow fluorescence induction increased with the age of leaf part, reached a maximum (for 2-week-old seedlings), and then decreased. Changes in (FM-FT)/FT positively correlated with the changes in photosynthetic activity per chlorophyll unit (delta O2/(delta t.chlorophyll)); the coefficient of correlation r = 0.84, p > 0.999. The F685/F730 ratio of the intensities of fluorescence spectrum decreased with the increase in chlorophyll content. The relative light sum SA/S(tot) of band A of thermoluminescence changed in the same direction as delta O2/(delta t-chlorophyll), the relative light sum (SC/S(tot) of band C of thermoluminescence decreased during leaf maturation. The regularities revealed in the experiments are discussed in terms of changes in the structural and functional organization of the photosynthetic apparatus known from the literature.
