| Abstract/Contents: | "Two instruments for the measurement of the reflection and transmission of radiation by grass leaves are described. Using one of these to measure the spatial distribution of reflected and transmitted light it was demonstrated that reflection was influenced by the epidermal structure of the leaf and that the importance of this layer increased with increasing angle of incidence. The other instrument was used to compare the reflectance and transmittance of leaves of different ages taken from perennial ryegrass cc. S24 and Ba6280, cocksfoot cv. S37 and S345, Phleum bertolonii cv. S50, timothy cv. S352, tall fescue cv. S170 and Italian ryegrass cv. RvP. There were significant differences between the grasses in leaf transmittance, and generally the young emerging leaf had a greater transmittance than fully-expanded leaves. The differences in leaf transmittance could be related to differences in specific leaf weight. There were no significant differences between species and cultivars in leaf reflectance." |
