How does photosynthesis work in plants which have leaves of some color other than green?

How does photosynthesis work in plants which have leaves of some color other than green?

articles on acidity and photosynthesis

I recently did an experiment testing photosynthesis in soybean plants after simulated acid rain. We had three treatments one was a control which recieved no acid solution, a soil pH treatment in which the acidic solution was only added to the soil and a foliar pH treatment in which, only the leaves were sprayed with an acidic ...continues

articles on the effects of pH on photosynthesis and shoot growth in soybean plants

I recently did an experiment in my plant physiology class to see how pH affects the photosynthetic rate and growth in soybean plants. We did our experiment mainly to see if an acidic pH has a greater or lesser effect when sprayed directly to the leaves or when poured in the soil. To do so we had three different plants each rec ...continues
