Page 6: General Description
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The PlantPen model PRI 200 measures Photochemical Reflectance Index (PRI) in two narrow wavelength bands centered close to 531 nm and 570 nm. The photochemical reflectance index (PRI = (R531– R570)/(R531+R570)) correlates with the epoxidation state of xanthophyll cycle pigments and photosystem efficiency in many studies under diverse conditions, such as different . -

Page 27: Pri - Photochemical Reflectance Index
PRI - PHOTOCHEMICAL REFLECTANCE INDEX The Photochemical Reflectance Index or PRI is a reflectance measurement. The PRI is sensitive to changes in carotenoid pigments (e.g. xanthophyll pigments) in live foliage. Carotenoid pigments are indicative of photosynthetic light use efficiency, or the rate of carbon dioxide uptake by foliage per unit energy absorbed. As such, it is used in studies of vegetation productivity and stress. -
