چکیده

When monkeys are given control of the illumination in a testing chamber, it has been found, under three conditions, that they spend less time with red light than with blue. But the results cannot easily be explained in terms of 'preference'. Rather, the results suggest that monkeys judge 'subjective time' to pass nearly twice as fast in red light as in blue.

The Effect of Seaweed Extract and LED on the Growth and flowering of Two Lisianthus Cultivars

Lisianthus is a slow-growing flowering plant whose seed germination and growth is a challenge in the tropics. Due to the marketability of this type of cut flower, this study was performed in two experiments to investigate the effect of seaweed extract (SWE) and LED on the growth of seedlings of two cultivars of lisianthus (namely Ariana and Mariachi) and its effect on flowering as a factorial e...

Effects of red light and loud noise on the rate at which monkeys sample the sensory environment.

Monkeys, given the opportunity to move between two featureless chanbers, 'sample' first one, then the other in a way which reflects a Poisson decision process. The rate of sampling is higher in red light than in blue and in loud noise than in quietness. We suggest that monkeys 'tune' their sampling rate to the a priori probability of change in the environment.

Effects of LED Light on Seed Emergence and Seedling Quality of Four Bedding Flowers

Recently much attention has been paid by horticulturists to light-emitting diodes as a new source of economical and spectral-selective light. The reason is mainly coming from their versatility in handling and mounting, long working time, wattage use efficiency and lower heat production. In this study we examined their potential in promoting seed germination and producing quality flower seedling...

Cryptochromes are required for phytochrome signaling to the circadian clock but not for rhythmicity.

The circadian clock is entrained to the daily cycle of day and night by light signals at dawn and dusk. Plants make use of both the phytochrome (phy) and cryptochrome (cry) families of photoreceptors in gathering information about the light environment for setting the clock. We demonstrate that the phytochromes phyA, phyB, phyD, and phyE act as photoreceptors in red light input to the clock and...
