We are delighted to see a cross-discipline review article by Chong, Sinclair and Guymer appearing in this issue of CEO (‘Facts on fat’, pp. 464–471). As the authors anticipate, this review provides valuable information to readers of the Journal, who are mostly ophthalmologists. We also believe that this cross-discipline review article will enable readers to better understand the roles of dietary fats, and be in a position to convey better quality information to their patients. Given that a possible association between dietary fatty acid intake and age-related macular degeneration is a current hot topic in the ophthalmic literature, this review …


Detection Of Moisture Stress In Eucalyptus Camaldulensis Using Leaf-Level Spectral Reflectance: Implications For Remote Sensing, Laurie A. Chisholm Jan 2006

Detection Of Moisture Stress In Eucalyptus Camaldulensis Using Leaf-Level Spectral Reflectance: Implications For Remote Sensing, Laurie A. Chisholm

Foliage moisture stress may be detectable by remote sensing using high resolution spectral data, but meaningful diagnosis requires that plant water status be assessed on the ground under controlled conditions. Design parameters of an experimental plantation of E. camaldulensis (River red gum), were used to examine tree-level responses to moisture stress, as measured by xylem water potential, and relationships to physiological parameters including spectral reflectance, chlorophyll flurescence, and cholorphyll across a range of stress categories.
