Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic characteristics of ornamental plant leaves in response to formaldehyde stress by CHENG Qin, HUANG Shu-shi, MEI Yan, XU Di, CHEN Li-mei

“…Under HCHO stress conditions, the change trends of total soluble protein and soluble sugar contents in the two plant leaves basically corresponded with those shown by FTIR data, suggesting that FTIR data could reflect the physiological characteristics of the two plant leaves in response to HCHO stress. Therefore, FTIR analysis can be applied to investigate the changes in physiological characteristics of plants under HCHO stress conditions and the ability of plants to absorb and metabolize HCHO.…”
