The wavelength of light absorbed by P_r form of phytochrome:

The wavelength of light absorbed by Pr\mathrm{P}_r form of phytochrome:

Options

  1. A680 nm680 \mathrm{~nm}
  2. B720 nm720 \mathrm{~nm}
  3. C620 nm620 \mathrm{~nm}
  4. D640 nm640 \mathrm{~nm}

Correct answer

A. 680 nm680 \mathrm{~nm}

Step-by-step solution

Light acts as a signal to initiate and regulate photoperiodism and photomorphogenesis. There are two light-sensing systems involved in these responses, the blue light-sensitive system and the red light-sensitive or phytochrome system. The action spectrum of the light needed for (\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{r}}) responses is at about 680 nm. So, the correct answer is '680 nm'
