The present invention provides methods for measuring a photosynthetic parameter. The methods of the invention include the steps of: (a) illuminating a plant leaf until steady-state photosynthesis is achieved; (b) subjecting the illuminated plant leaf to a period of darkness; (c) using a kinetic spectrophotometer or kinetic spectrophotometer/fluorimeter to collect spectral data from the plant leaf treated in accordance with steps (a) and (b); and (d) determining a photosynthetic parameter from the spectral data. In another aspect, the invention provides methods for determining the physiological state of a plant.

La présente invention concerne des procédés destinés à mesurer un paramètre photosynthétique. Ces procédés consistent (a) à éclairer une feuille de plante jusqu'à ce que la photosynthèse se produise en régime continu, (b) à soumettre la feuille de plante éclairée à une période d'obscurité, (c) à utiliser un spectrophotomètre à cinétique ou un spectrophotomètre/fluorimètre à cinétique afin de recueillir des données spectrales à partir de la feuille de plante traitée selon les étapes (a) et (b), et (d) à déterminer un paramètre photosynthétique à partir des données spectrales. Dans une autre réalisation, l'invention concerne des procédés destinés à déterminer l'état physiologique d'une plante.
