摘要
The maximum quantum yield for photosynthetic O-2 evolution in red leaf coleus varieties having anthocyanin in their upper epidermis is much lower in green light and slightly lower in white light than in a green leaf variety lacking anthocyanin. A similar degree of photoinhibition occurred under excess visible light in the red versus green varieties; whereas, the red leaf varieties were less damaged by UV-B and UV-C radiation suggesting protection by anthocyanin in their epidermal tissue.
