Abstract: | The effect of broad band green, blue and red light on stomatal opening of Vicia faba L. (broad bean) leaves was examined. In air, blue light caused greater stomatal opening than red light. In air with green light stomata were only slightly opened. In a nitrogen atmosphere red light caused greater opening than blue light, and green light caused only slight opening. Opening in air or nitrogen atmosphere in red or blue light was inhibited by the uncoupler CCCP, while the photosynthetic inhibitor DCMU inhibited opening in air but not in nitrogen atmosphere. We concluded that more than one light activated metabolic pathway can supply the energy needed to effect stomatal opening and that different pathways are operative under different conditions. |
