Abstract

We study the photosynthetic activity from the electrical impedance spectroscopy in darkness and in light, using the Cole’s model.  The used lights active photosynthetic are red, blue and yellow.  This analysis shows that the photochemical phase with active photosynthetic lights are characterized by a decrease of the extra chlorophyll space resistance.  The non-photochemical phase is characterized by an almost constant or increase of the extra chlorophyll space resistance.  We also observe a vertical o?set at the spectrometric curves of bio impedance, implying a difference in electrical activity in darkness and inactive photosynthetic lights respectively.  However, the green light is found to be inactive, since the photosynthetic activity is the same as in darkness.
