Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Arabidopsis germination induction was most susceptible at 660 mμ.
- Observation Germination inactivation had maxima at 720 and 740 mμ.
- Association The germination-induction response is a logarithmic function of dose.
- Association The germination-inactivation response is a linear function of dose.
- Observation The action spectra resemble other plant photomorphogenic action spectra.
- Mechanism The authors infer little attenuation by screening pigments or scattering before light reaches the photoreceptor.
