RESUMO
When filamentous protonemata of Adiantum capillus-veneris L. precultured under continuous red light were transferred to the dark, the apical cell divided about 24 to 36 hours thereafter. The time of the cell division was delayed for several hours by a brief exposure to far red light given before the dark incubation. The effect of far red light was reversed by a small dose of red light given immediately after the preceding far red light. The effects of red and far red light were repeatedly reversible, indicating that the timing of cell division was regulated by a phytochrome system. When a brief irradiation with blue light was given before the dark incubation, the cell division occurred after 17 to 26 hours in darkness. A similar red far red reversible effect was also observed in the timing of the blue light-induced cell division. Thus, the timing of cell division appeared to be controlled by phytochrome and a blue light-absorbing pigment.
