✦ Synopsis

No phytochrome can be detected spectrophotometrically in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Mandarin) cell suspensions grown in darkness. White light from a tungsten filament lamp and a band of far-red light have been found to induce the appearance of phytochrome in them. Red light failed to bring about phytochrome increase and destroyed the phytochrome induced by far-red light.
