Fluorescence and Photochemical Investigations of Phytochrome in Higher Plants

Figure 1

Fluorescence of phytochrome in the Pr form in stems of etiolated pea seedlings. Emission spectra were taken under monochromatic excitation at  nm, excitation spectra, for emission at  nm at 77 K and 200 K. Excitation spectrum with the maximum at 375 nm was calculated in the region 350–500 nm with due consideration of green background fluorescence with excitation maximum at 420 nm. Calculation procedure based on different temperature dependence of the excitation bands at 420 and 673 nm, see in [30]. (From [14, 30]).
