Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Red light initially caused transient growth inhibition in wheat coleoptiles.
- Intervention effect After a roughly 15-minute lag, wheat coleoptile extension decelerated to a minimum around 60 minutes under red light.
- Intervention effect Wheat coleoptile extension accelerated after the minimum at approximately 60 minutes.
- Observation The short-term response was qualitatively the same in the wheat coleoptile tip, subapical zone and base and was independent of age.
- Intervention effect The delayed red-light response became measurable after 1.8–3 hours and showed age-dependent, zone-specific growth promotion or inhibition in wheat coleoptiles.
- Intervention effect Persistent growth promotion occurred only in tips of wheat coleoptiles selected 70 hours after sowing and was detectable about three hours after red-light onset.
