| Abstract: | Abstract. A brief high temperature treatment (45 C) promoted anthocyanin synthesis in 2-d-old dark-grown red cabbage seedlings. The increased effectiveness of a temperature/red light treatment as opposed to the reverse sequence suggests that an elevated temperature 'induces' some component which facilitates the phytochrome response. |
