In studies with turnips, peas and buckwheat, as the intensity of solar radiation received by the leaves was reduced by the dust adhering to them, plant height, fresh weight and chlorophyll and carbohydrate contents were decreased. Changes in N content were smaller, but numbers, size and chlorophyll content of chloroplasts were also affected.Other references
