Abstract

Increase in fluence rates of white light over the range of 5 to 80 μmol m^-2 s^-1 brought about a corresponding increase in amounts of anthocyanin production in shoots of Zea mays L. seedlings. Roots also exhibited a similar relationship between increased fluence rate and increased anthocyanin production over the range of 5 to 40 μmol m^-2 s^-1 whereas fluence rates above 40 μmol m^-2 s^-1 brought about decreases in anthocyanin production. Rates of production and amounts of accumulation of anthocyanin in both shoots and roots were found to vary with the age of the seedlings at the time of exposure to light.
