Abstract
Abstract— The effects of red, blue and green light pulses on total protein accumulation in the green alga Ulva rigida following transfer from a low to high nitrate medium in darkness were examined. Red light pulses prior to transfer to darkness increased protein accumulation by about 55%. Blue and green light pulses also stimulated protein accumulation, but to a lesser extent (40‐30% respectively). Stimulation of protein accumulation by red, blue or green light was largely (red light) or partially (blue or green light) reversible by far‐red. The role of phytochrome and a red/green photoreversible system in the control of protein synthesis is discussed.
