  • See Chlorophyll fluorescence (red) of two leaves change with time when exposed by #051FB0 light , one treated with herbicide diuron (the left one) and the other not; you will see that in the treated leaf, fluorescence is high and remains high, whereas in the other leaf fluorescence decreases with time, called the Kautsky Effect (see Govindjee 1995). Click on Govindjee et al. (in #051FB0 ) and then click on the leaf that appears. You will get "For Kautsky" from "Small_Kautsky.mov"; then, you click on the left bottom arrow in "For Kautsky" panel, and you can then enjoy the short movie. Have fun.
