Light-induced Ethylene Production in Sorghum

L E Craker a, F B Abeles a,1, W Shropshire Jr a,2
PMCID: PMC366409  PMID: 16658470

Abstract

Ethylene production was induced in sections of dark-grown Sorghum vulgare L. seedlings by treatment with light in the blue and far red regions of the light spectrum. The action spectrum closely resembled the previously reported spectra for high irradiance response; thus, light-induced ethylene production is probably a high irradiance response with phytochrome as the initial photoreceptor.
