...…composition of light may be derived from several photoreceptors with varying spectral sensitivities (Kelber, Vorobyev & Osario, 2003), and in mammals retinal ganglion cells that are independent of the visual system may be involved in entraining circadian clocks (Berson, Dunn & Takao, 2002)....

...…blue to UV-A portion of the spectrum is necessary for DNA repair through photoreactivation via the photolyase enzyme (with maximum absorption at 380 and 440 nm), while ‘dark repair’ through the excision repair pathways is independent of light (Sutherland, 1981; Britt, 1996; Sinha & Häder, 2002)....

...The phytochrome system plays a key role in detecting shade and measuring day length, and has been shown to influence vegetative growth and architecture, the timing of germination, flowering, bud burst and dormancy and senescence, and the allocation of resources to roots, stems and leaves (Smith, 2000)....
