Apparent Phytochrome Synthesis in Pisum Tissue

Nature volume 213, pages 468–470 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

The increase of phytochrome in pea plants which have been irradiated with red light and then returned to the dark is related to the initial decrease of phytochrome (after irradiation) below a certain critical amount. The increase may result from the re-establishment of photo-reversibility in a fraction of the phytochrome present in a non-reversible pool.
