Abstract In a three-factor analysis the rate of chlorophyll a (Chl) accumulation in excised mustard cotyledons was studied as a function of kinetin, light (operating through phytochrome, P fr) and an excision factor. It was found that the three factors operate additively provided that the P fr level is high enough. When the P fr level is below approximately 1 per cent (ϕλ〈0.01) the effectiveness of the excision factor decreases while the effect of kinetin remains additive. The observed additivity is explained by a model where the three factors operate independently through a common intermediate (presumably 5-aminolevulinate) in the biosynthetic chain leading to Chl. With regard to the coaction of the excision factor and phytochrome it is concluded that the production of the excision factor requires the operation of phytochrome (even though saturated at a low P fr level) while the action of the excision factor is independent of phytochrome. This conclusion was confirmed by experiments in which the rate of light-mediated anthocyanin synthesis was measured in excised mustard cotyledons. The effect of excision in the case of anthocyanin formation differs kinetically from the effect of excision on Chl formation.
