Studies on the physiology of Funaria hygrometrica spore germination. Part IV. The effect of blue and red light on the germination of spores

J. Krupa

Abstract


The effect of radiation with wave-lengths 654 nm and 425 nm on the germination of Funaria hydgrometrica spores has been studied. The wave-length bands used for the radiation treatment were employed for various durations and in various combinations. The effects of red and blue light were different in the individual phases of germination when after an inductive radiation treatment light in the 425 nm wave-length was supplied. Differences in the effect of red and blue light are observable in the "post-effects" land in the germination morphology.
