摘要
Turion yield in Spirodela polyrhiza, strain SJ, is increased by increasing the daily light period. This effect is more pronounced in autotrophic than in mixotrophic conditions. Night-break irradiation (15 mins) increased turion yield by 150 % under the conditions of an 8-h daily light period. Besides the effect of night-break irradiation, end-of-day far-red irradiation decreased turion yield with increasing photoperiod, whereas end-of-day red irradiation was without any effect. This demonstrates the promoting effect of the Pfr form of phytochrome on formation of light-grown turions.Formation of dark-grown turions was increased by about 240% by a single red light pulse and was reversed by an immediately applied far-red light pulse. Consequently, under heterotrophic conditions phytochrome modulates the turion formation process. © 1990 Annals of Botany Company.
