The photosynthetic oxygen production of Ectocarpus siliculosus (Dillwyn) Lyngb. under continuous high irradiances of red light displayed a circadian rhythm with maxima at about noon. Pulses of blue light induced rapid transient increases in the rate of photosynthesis. The increases started about 15
Photosynthesis of Ectocarpus siliculosus (Dillwyn) Lyngb. under continuous saturating red irradiation follows a circadian rhythm. Blue-light pulses rapidly stimulate photosynthesis with high effectiveness in the troughs of this rhythm but the effectiveness of such pulses is much lower at its peaks.
## Abstract Chicken pinealocytes contain three major components of the circadian clock system: 1) a selfβsustained oscillator, 2) a photicβinput pathway to the oscillator, and 3) an overt output represented by the rhythmic production of melatonin. Even under cultured conditions of isolated pineal g
