In pot trials in 1972, 1973 and 1975, the local wheat Giza 55 and the Mexican dwarf Super X and Shenab 70 were given 0, 30 or 60 kg N/feddan. At heading the chloroplast contents of chlorophyll, protein and carotenoid, chlorophyll stability and photosynthetic activity were significantly higher in the Mexican and were greatly increased by increasing N application.
