Other claims from this paper (4)
- Association Seeds from skotomorphogenetic capsules showed almost absent dormancy, with altered germination kinetics, regardless of light exposure.
- Intervention effect Blue light exposure induced skotomorphogenetic-like effects in seeds from photomorphogenetic capsules.
- Association Exposure to the whole visible range (350–750 nm) and to red light alone showed a dose-related trend in seeds from photomorphogenetic capsules.
- Mechanism The observed differences in seeds appear to depend on red wavelengths and on transduction mechanisms in fruits.
