Abstract
Intermittent periods of red light illumination inhibit the growth of dwarf pea seedlings within 1 day and stop length increase completely in 3 days. Cis,trans-xanthoxin is synthesized within the plant during the 1st day of illumination and reaches a maximum level on the 3rd day. The red light treatment also causes an increase in the levels of violaxanthin, linoleic acid and peroxidase, lipoxygenase and carotene-bleaching activities in the plant. The possible control of xanthoxin production is discussed.
