Abstract
The effect of light on the phytochrome content of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea (L.) var. botrytis) curd was studied using in vivo spectrophotometry. It was found that light caused a rapid increase in phytochrome level whereas transfer to darkness caused a rapid loss, regardless of the amount of phytochrome initially present in the far red absorbing form. The amount of phytochrome detectable during continuous irradiation appears to be related to the photoequilibrium φ, and is thus controlled by phytochrome itself.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
