Plant Growth & Development3 stages1. Embryogenesis
Fertilization to seed2. Vegetative growth
Juvenile stageGermination to adult"phase change" marks transition
3. Reproductive developmentMake flowers, can reproduce sexually
Light regulation of growthPlants sense1. Light quantity2. Light quality (colors)3. Light duration4. Direction it comes from
Light regulation of growthMeasures night! 30" flashes during night stop flowersLDP plants such as Arabidopsis need long days to flowerSDP flower in fall, LDP flower in spring, neutral flower when readyNext : color matters! Red light works best for flowering
PhytochromeNext : color matters! Red light (666 nm)works best for flowering & for germination of many seeds!But, Darwin showed blue works best for phototropism!
PhytochromeBut, Darwin showed blue works best for phototropism!Different photoreceptor!Red light (666 nm) promotes germinationFar red light (>700 nm) blocks germination
PhytochromeRed light (666 nm) promotes germinationFar red light (>700 nm) blocks germinationAfter alternate R/FR color of final flash decides outcomeSeeds don't want to germinate in the shade!
