Other claims from this paper (5)
- Mechanism Chlorophyll was unnecessary for the illumination-linked enzyme increase.
- Observation Dark-grown leaves on normal pea plants had enzyme activity.
- Observation Leaves of a chlorophyll-less mutant had high specific enzyme activity.
- Intervention effect Far-red light before darkness inhibited but did not abolish the enzyme activity increase.
- Observation After seven days in darkness, stimulated leaf protein formation was not accompanied by increased enzyme activity.
