Abstract

Hypocotyl elongation in two varieties of Petunia and in Grand Rapids lettuce is shown to be affected by a high-energy reaction and by phytochrome action. These two photoreactions interact in such a way that, on the one hand, shortening of the hypocotyls due to the high-energy reaction can be entirely masked by brief terminal far-red light treatment, while on the other hand, there is no evidence of phytochrome action unless brief exposures to red light are preceded by relatively long exposure of high-intensity.
