Effect of Light Quality on Carbon Metabolism

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 6))

Abstract

The first experimental evidence for the possibility of controlling photosynthetic carbon metabolism by light quality was obtained in the middle of our century. By the time of this writing, the total effects of blue (BL) and red (RL) light on photosynthetic carbon metabolism have come to be well known. BL activates an accumulation of protein in newly synthesized organic material and RL activates accumulation of carbohydrates. Moreover, the phenomenon seems to be widely distributed both in higher plants and in algae. Further, it has been found that many vital bio syntheses can be regulated by simple alteration of light quality. Since many reviews exist (Pirson and Kowallik, 1964; Krotkov, 1964; Kowallik, 1970; Voskresenskaya, 1972), this article is largely limited to a characterization of our present knowledge of the problem.
