Abstract
Seedlings of two species of Rhizophora (R. apiculata and R. mucronata) were grown for 45 d under sun, shade, or dark in natural environment. The shade-grown plants showed optimum growth performance, efficient N O3- utilization and photosynthetic characteristics (chlorophyll and ca rotenoid contents and their presence in pigment-protein complexes).
