Abstract:Fluence-response relationships have been measured at wavelengths from 350 to 760 nm for the enhancement of phototropism in Arabidopsis thulium L. (Heynh) strain “Estland” by an irradiation at each of these wavelengths, given 2 h prior to a 450 nm inductive unilateral irradiation. Action spectra have been constructed from these fluence-response relationships based on: (i) the fluence required to obtain a curvature of 25° (corresponding to an enhancement of 15°), (ii) the fluence required to obtain 50% of the maximum enhancement and (iii) the fluence threshold for enhancement by a pre-irradiation. The action spectra exhibit two maxima, one at 669 nm and a second at 378 nm. The height of the maximum at 669 nm is approximately 4 times the height of the maximum at 378 nm. Based on the action spectra, it is concluded that the enhancement of phototropism in A. thaliana is mediated by phytochrome.
