Abstract: | Continuous recordings of the effect of light on oat (Avena sativa L. cv. Victory) coleoptile and pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska) epicotyl growth were made. Using a single excised coleoptile 10 minutes of red light was found to promote growth after a latent period of 46 minutes. The stimulation was transient and was not far red-reversible. Blue and far red light also promoted growth with similar kinetics. The action of continuous red or far red light was similar to that of 10-minute light. The growth of the intact pea third internode (as well as excised segments) was strongly inhibited by red light, with a latent period of 80 minutes. This effect was far red-reversible, and far red and blue light caused only a slight inhibition of growth. |
