Abstract: 
Molecular fluorescence spectra determine possible structural changes of these molecules and provide data (by comparing them with absorption ones) on the efficiency of solar energy utilization. Fluorescence emission spectra provide information on the functionality of the photosynthetic apparatus by means of two bands red F690 and beyond red F735. The objective of the study is to highlight possible changes in the organization and operation of the photosynthetic apparatus, induced by different radiations, in the leaves, for a variety of pear (Santa Maria), based on the characteristics of the two bands of emitted fluorescence. The Santa Maria variety was studied in the period of June.
