spinach: Inhibition of photosynthesis

Description

Experiment investigating the inhibition of photosynthesis in response to two synthetic photosystem II inhibitors, the herbicides diuron and bentazone. The effect of oxygen consumption of thylakoid membranes (chloroplasts) from spinach was measured after incubation with the synthetic inhibitors, resulting in 5 dose-response curves.
