The Effect of Different Portions of the Sunlight Spectrum on Ethylene Evolution in Peach (Prunus persica) Apices

Abstract: Exposure of peach plants to the blue plus far‐red (B/FR) portions of the sunlight spectrum caused a rapid rise in ethylene evolution from their apices. Two days were enough to produce a significant rise in ethylene evolution relative to blue without far‐red or to neutral shade. Maximal level of ethylene evolution in the B/FR light, more than eight times that of the blue or the neutral shade, was reached after four days of exposure. A higher endogenous ethylene content was also found under B/FR relative to blue… Show more

“…By contrast, low 4t light treatment would lkely promote an earlier attainment of early maturity (Table II), which would predispose toward enhanced resistance to pathogenesis (Fig. 3A), (5,7,25,29). There is growing evidence that phytohormonal and enzymic interactions on or within membranes may be related to the action of phytotoxins (4,15,22).…”

“…3D). Low 4"t light treatments will generate lower relative Pfr levels (27), limit the synthesis of gibberellins and cytokinins, and increase the synthesis of ethylene while promoting general catabolism and the export of transportable metabolites (5,7,25,29,31). Such light quality effects would serve to enhance the conditions already initiated within older leaves in response to declining Pfr levels, a consequence of increased rate of Pfr loss during dark periods (34,35).…”

“…The severity may be further promoted by factors that enhance senescence, i.e. short photoperiods and/or blue-biased far-red light (17)(18)(19)20) and exposure to auxin-analog herbicides (12,13 promotive of ethylene generation and/or senescence (9,10,22,27).…”
