The role of low intensity red luminescent radiation in the control of Arabidopsis thaliana morphogenesis and hormonal balance

The role of low intensity red luminescent radiation in the control of Arabidopsis thaliana... The effects of low intensity red luminescent radiation emitted by the polyethylene light-correcting film due to the conversion of UV-A radiation on Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. morphogenesis and hormonal balance were studied. Wild-type Ler plants and two mutants, hy3 and hy4, displaying disturbances in the synthesis of phytochrome B and cryptochrome 1, respectively, were compared. In wild-type and hy4 plants grown under the light-correcting film, growth and development were substantially accelerated, whereas, in hy3 plants, they were retarded. These changes were correlated with changes in the levels of endogenous hormones, both growth activators and inhibitors. We concluded that low intensity red luminescent radiation affected the plant hormonal balance. In its turn, the changes in the hormone ratios, growth stimulators and inhibitors, affected the rate of plant growth and their productivity. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Russian Journal of Plant Physiology Springer Journals

Abstract

The effects of low intensity red luminescent radiation emitted by the polyethylene light-correcting film due to the conversion of UV-A radiation on Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. morphogenesis and hormonal balance were studied. Wild-type Ler plants and two mutants, hy3 and hy4, displaying disturbances in the synthesis of phytochrome B and cryptochrome 1, respectively, were compared. In wild-type and hy4 plants grown under the light-correcting film, growth and development were substantially accelerated, whereas, in hy3 plants, they were retarded. These changes were correlated with changes in the levels of endogenous hormones, both growth activators and inhibitors. We concluded that low intensity red luminescent radiation affected the plant hormonal balance. In its turn, the changes in the hormone ratios, growth stimulators and inhibitors, affected the rate of plant growth and their productivity.
