【 摘 要 】

Action spectra (responsivity spectra) for the transcript accumulation of four photogenes, rbcS, rbcL, Cab and psaB, had a major peak in the red region (660 nm). Violet (400 nm) and green (510 nm) light also induced these transcripts, but their effects differed with the gene. The effect of red light was reversed by later exposure to far-red light, but the effects of violet and green light were not. Non-reversible photoreactions in addition to the phytochrome-mediated photoreversible reaction seemed to be involved in the expression of these photogenes.
