چکیده مقاله :
Leaf area information is required in various horticultural and physiological studies and it will be more useful if done via non-destructive methods. The objective of this study was to establish equations to estimate leaf area (LA) using length (L), width (W), fresh weight (FW), dry weight (DW), length × length (L2), width × width (W2), length × width (L×W), length + width (L+W), fresh weight × fresh weight (FW2) and dry weight × dry weight (DW2) of coneflower (Echinacea purpurea L.) leaves as a medicinal and landscape plant. An open field experiment was carried out to study relationship between leaf dimension and weight with leaf area of this plant. Observed leaf area was obtained by an automatic measuring device and leaf dimensions were measured by a ruler. A linear model employing L × W as an independent variables [LA = 0.575 (L × W) - 0.934] resulted in the most accurate estimation (R2 = 0.874, RMSE = 2.33) of coneflower leaf area. Validation of the regression model showed that the correlation between measured and simulated values by using this equation was quite acceptable.
سطح برگ یک متغیر کلیدی برای مطالعات فیزیولوژیکی است، بنابراین مدلهای دقیـق و سـادهای کـه بتواننـد سـطح بـرگ گیاهان را تعیین کنند در موارد زیادی اهمیت دارند. هدف از این تحقیق تعیین معادلههایی برای تخمین سطح برگ گیاه با استفاده از طول (L)، عرض (W)، وزن تر (FW)، وزن خشک (DW)، طول × طول، عرض × عرض، طول × عرض، طول + عرض، وزن تر × وزن تر و وزن خشک × وزن خشک برگهای گیاه سرخارگل (Echinaceapurpurea L.) به عنوان گیاه زینتی دارویی بود. بدین منظور آزمایشی در شرایط مزرعه برای بررسی رابطه بین ابعاد و وزن برگ با سطح برگ انجام شد. سطح برگ گیاه با استفاده از دستگاه اندازهگیری اتوماتیک و ابعاد برگ با خط کش اندازه گیری شدند. مدل خطی با استفاده از طول × عرض (L×W) به عنوان متغیرهای مستقل [LA = 0.575 (L × W) - 0.934] از دقیقترین تخمین (R2 = 0.874, RMSE = 2.33) یرای تعیین سطح برگ گیاه سرخارگل بدست آمد. تایید مدل رگرسیونی نشان داد که همبستگی دادههای اندازهگیری شده با دادههای تخمینی توسط معادله کاملا قابل قبول بود.
