A. O. Taylor; Bruce A. Bonner PLANT PHYSIOLOGY 1967. doi:10.1104/pp.42.6.762
Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation The Sphaerocarpos pigment had difference spectrum maxima at 655 and 720 nm.
- Intervention effect Red and far-red light transformed the Mesotaenium pigment with reversibility and efficiency very similar to phytochrome from etiolated higher-plant seedlings.
- Observation The absorption maxima of the Sphaerocarpos and Mesotaenium pigments differ.
- Observation The described methods allow efficient separation of phytochrome from highly pigmented light-grown Sphaerocarpos material.
