Abstract
Stomatal apertures in darkness and subsequent average opening rates in light were measured in Vicia faba leaf discs throughout the nyctoperiods for plants grown on three light:dark cycles (8:16, 12:12, and 16:8). The time course of opening in darkness depended on the specific light:dark cycle with the maximum aperture always occurring at the time the lights normally went on. The light-induced opening rate was also maximum at the end of the nyctoperiod.
