| Abstract: | When etiolated pea epicotyls are excised immediately above the cotyledons and dipped basally into 14C-sucrose, their terminal buds respond to red light by increased growth (IG) and enhanced incorporation of sucrose (EIS). Both phenomena are phytochrome controlled, showing typical kinetics, reversal by far-red light, escape from photochemical control and limitation to leaf tissue. EIS is of greater magnitude, occurs more rapidly and is saturated by lower energies of red light than IG, suggesting its possible importance as a controlling reaction in phytochrome-mediated growth. Both IG and EIS are best shown in the presence of a long epicotyl derived from a 5 to 6-day-old seedling in the presence of about 0.1 m unlabeled sucrose in the medium. |
