Changes in Nucleic Acids in Phytochrome-dependent Elongation of the Alaska Pea Epicotyl

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Red light, which produces the physiologically active form of phytochrome (Pfr), inhibited epicotyl elongation in intact dark-grown Alaska pea seedlings. This red light response was detectable 3 hours after the light treatment and became pronounced after 5 hours. The growth inhibition was completely reversed by far red light applied immediately after the red or by pretreatment of the seedlings with the plant hormone gibberellin A3.
