Study on correlation and path analysis between SPAD values and chlorophyll concentrations in three species of Berberidaceae leaves by LU Xiaoping, YANG Bingxian, XU Chanjuan, TIAN Jingkui, ZHANG Lin

“…A non-linear relationship between SPAD values and chlorophyll concentration was indicated by the empirical equations; nevertheless, the optimal equations of Chla, Chlb, and TChl in M. bealei. were exponential function, while the power function of Chla, TChl and the second-order polynomials function of Chlb in M. fortunei and N. domestica were observed.The correlation between SPAD values and chlorophyll concentration in three different species of Berberidaceae indicats that the SPAD values can accurately reflect the chlorophyll concentration in higher plant leaves and the SPAD-502Plus chlorophyll meter can effectively eliminate the impact factors, so we propose that the SPAD-502Plus chlorophyll meter can be referred as a fast and nondestructive method to evaluate the chlorophyll concentration, and SPAD calibration curves shall commonly be parameterized as non-linear relationship.…”
