Two high mountain plants Soldanella alpina (L.) and Ranunculus glacialis (L.) were transferred from their natural environment to two different growth conditions (22 degrees C and 6 degrees C) at low elevation in order to investigate the possibility of de-acclimation to light and cold and the
Soldanella alpina differing in leaf epidermal UV-A absorbance (DEA375), as measured with the Dualex, was investigated as a model alpine plant for the flavonoid (Flav) composition and concentration and for anatomical and pigment characteristics. In sun leaves, twenty-three flavones were
In the French Alps, Soldanella alpina (S. alpina) grow under shade and sun conditions during the vegetation period. This species was investigated as a model for the dynamic acclimation of shade leaves to the sun under natural alpine conditions, in terms of photosynthesis and leaf anatomy.
Alpine plants like Soldanella alpina L. are subjected to high PAR and high UV radiation. Among the important photoprotective mechanisms that prevent photoinhibition under such conditions, passive optical barriers such as UV-absorbing compounds were investigated. In this study, temporal and spatial
