Low-temperature (77K) fluorescence emission spectra of 100 dark-grown pea (Pisum sativum L.) seedlings of various ages were measured. The spectra of the 100 leaf samples were collected into a separate data group and those of epicotyls formed another one. This group was divided into three sub-groups as spectra of uppermost, middle and lowermost 3cm sections. Further sub-groups were formed on the basis of the ages of the plants. The spectra were normalized to their total integral values (within the 580–780nm region) then the AVERAGE (arithmetic mean function) and AVEDEV (average of the absolute deviations of data points of their mean function) spectra were calculated. Very sharp bands were found in the AVEDEV spectra. Even the strongly overlapped 629 and 636nm emission bands appeared as separate peaks, due to the decrease of their half-bandwidth values in the AVEDEV function. Both types …
