Abstract: | Summary Ultraviolet light was demonstrated to stimulate flavone glycoside synthesis in Petroselinum cell suspension cultures. The data presented suggest the involvement of phytochrome in this response: Flavone glycoside formation resulting from 1 h of ultraviolet irradiation was increased by subsequent continuous far-red light irradiation. However, the ultraviolet effect was reduced by a subsequent irradiation with 10 min of far-red. This far-red effect was fully reversed by a sub-sequent irradiation with 10 min of red. Red and far-red irradiations were ineffective without ultraviolet preirradiation. It is concluded that in this system ultraviolet irradiation is required in order to change the cells in such a way as to allow a physiological effectiveness of the phytochrome system. |
