Abstract: | In etiolated seedlings of Raphanus sativus L. the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation by continuous light showed a major bimodal peak of action in the red and far-red, and two minor peaks in the blue regions of the spectrum. It is argued that, under conditions of prolonged irradiation, phytochrome is the pigment controlling the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation by red and far-red light, but that its mode of action in far-red is different from that in red. A distinct pigment is postulated for blue light.Abbreviations B blue - FR far red - G green - R red - HIR high irradiance reaction - Pr and Pfr red and far red absorbing forms of phytochrome - R red |
