    Notes: Abstract Fluence-rate response curves for wavelengths from 640 nm to 730 nm were constructed for the day-extension promotion of flowering in green, light-grown, wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Alexandria), a long-day plant. The resultant action spectrum had action maxima at 660 nm and 716 nm and resembles spectra for the high-irradiance reaction (HIR) seen in etiolated plants. Because, the HIR is thought to be controlled by type I pytochrome (that which is most abundant in etiolated tissue) our results indicate the involvement of type I phytochrome in the photomorphogenesis of a light-grown, green plant.

    Notes: Abstract The kinetics of type 1 phytochrome were investigated in green, light-grown wheat. Phytochrome was measured by a quantitative sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using monoclonal antibodies. The assay was capable of detecting down to 150 pg of phytochrome. In red light, rapid first-order destruction of the far-red-light-absorbing form of phytochrome (Pfr) with a half-life of 15 min was observed. Following white light terminated by red, phytochrome synthesis was delayed in darkness by about 15 h compared to plants given a terminal far-red treatment. Synthesis of the red-light-absorbing form of phytochrome (Pr) was zero-order in these experiments. Phytochrome synthesis in far-red light was approximately equal to synthesis in darkness in wheat although net destruction occurred in light-grown Avena sativa tissues in continuous far-red light, as has been reported for other monocotyledons. In wheat, destruction of Pfr apparently did not occur below a certain threshold level of Pfr or Pfr/total phytochrome. These results are consistent with an involvement of type 1 phytochrome in the photoperiodic control of flowering in wheat and other long-day plants.
