influence of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) exerted on the peanut leaves was examined
by using the laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) method. Linear relation was
seen in vitality decrease of peanut leaves and W-B fluence. In addition, it
has been understood to be able to evaluate the vitality decrease of leaves
by measuring the change in a specific fluorescence peak ratio. It is thoug
ht that an early detection and an evaluation of UV-B stress may be possible
by applying this method to remote-sensing.
