TL;DR: The results indicate that the enhancing action of BL on the different parts of the photosynthesis apparatus depends on the ecological type of plant: in contrast with shade-type plants, BL promotes mainly the activity of dark photosynthetic reactions in leaves of sun- type plants.

TL;DR: The results indicate the involvement of phytochrome, cryptochrome and chlorophyll in the long-term regulation of the Chl content and RGE.

TL;DR: The accumulation of dry matter and the content of major phytohormones in the aboveground and underground plant parts, as well as light curves and the diurnal course of photosynthesis in the leaves were studied in radish plants of different ages that were grown under red (RL) or blue (BL) light.

TL;DR: The levels of two phytohormones, indole-3-acetate and zeatin plusZeatin riboside were found to be several-fold higher in roots of blue light-grown plants compared with red light- grown ones, which obviously create a higher sink demand from roots to leaves in blue light -grown plants, which facilitate the development of under-ground storage tissues.

TL;DR: In this article, the redox states of photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII) in intact leaves of cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L), as well as the sucrose and starch contents were examined under conditions of ongoing soil water deficit imposed by the cessation of watering.
