RESUMO
The average opening rate of Vicia faba L. stomata was determined over an initial 20-minute light period following darkness. Nonsaturating intensities of broad band red and blue light had similar quantum effectiveness for the promotion of opening, whereas broad band green was about 40% and far red about 5% as effective. The opening rates under saturating red, green, and blue light were the same. Net photosynthesis was measured under various intensities of the same red, green, and blue light spectra. Red and blue light were equally efficient in causing photosynthesis, whereas green was 60% as effective. The light compensation points for the three colors were at higher intensities than those which saturated the opening rate response. These data suggest that only a single pigment system, probably the photosynthetic pigments, is responsible for initiating the light-induced opening response in V. faba stomata.
