Abstract: | Coleoptile growth of intact rice seedlings under submerged conditionswas not much affected by the continuous irradiation of red light.But, if aerated, growth was strongly inhibited by a low-energybrief irradiation of red light, and this red light-induced effectwas reversed by a brief exposure to far-red light. The responsesto red and far-red light were repeatedly reversible. The amountof photometrically detectable phytochrome in non-aerated coleoptiletissues was found to be as low as one third that in aeratedones. After the conversion of Pr to Pfr by a brief red irradiation,the total ( A) of the aerated tissues decreased to about onefifth that of the original level within 6 hr at 24?C, whilethe Pfr in the non-aerated tissues was significantly less decayed.
