Abstract

The phytochrome mediated enhancement of nitrate reductase activity in excised maize leaves was repressed by inhibitors of RNA synthesis. Brief red light treatment and continuous far-red light illumination increased the amount of total RNA. Continuous far red light maintained a higher level of polyribosomes than dark control. This was a red/far-red photo-reversible effect. Inhibitors of RNA synthesis decreased the polyribosome level by 30%.
