| Abstract: | Abstract— The response of seeds to irradiation by white light varies with the species: induction of germination, inhibition of germination or both according to the time-irradiation. The low energy reaction (LER) which acts via phytochrome can explain many cases of influence of light upon germination. It seems possible that a second reaction, the high energy reaction (HER), acts through another photoreceptor. |
