Photomorphogenic response of maize seedlings to light of different colors. Kernels were germinated and seedlings grown at 24 °C/22 °C or 14 °C/10 °C under light indicated and mesocotyl length was determined at VE stage. Three independent experiments were run, each with 10 seedlings per experimental variant. Data were normalized to mesocotyl length of seedlings grown in parallel in darkness (scotomorphogenesis), expressed as natural logarithm and are presented as described for Fig. 2.
