The Circadian Rhythm of Leaf Movement of Coleus blumei x C. frederici, a Short Day Plant. I. Under Constant Light Conditions.
نویسنده
چکیده
A new instrument for the recording of leaf movement rhythm is described. Coleus blumei x C. frederici, a short day plant, exhibits a circadian rhythm of leaf movement. The period length of the free running rhythm is shortest in continuous darkness and is increased with an increase in the light intensity. The amplitude of the rhythm tends to damp in continuous bright light.

The Circadian Rhythm of Leaf Movement of Coleus blumei x C. frederici, a Short Day Plant. II. The Effects of Light and Temperature Signals.
The phase response curve for the circadian rhythm of leaf movement of Coleus blumei x C. frederici, a short day plant, is generally similar to those reported for other organisms. An increase in the duration of the light signal caused an increase in the extreme values of the phase response curve and shortened the time for transition from maximum delays to maximum advances. Experiments with 2 lig...
متن کاملThe flowering response of coleus in relation to photoperiod and the circadian rhythm of leaf movement.
The flowering response of Coleus frederici and Coleus blumei x C. frederici is dependent on the photoperiod; both plants have a critical day length of about 12 hr. The inductive phase, defined as the period when light signals inhibit floral development, started 10 hr after the onset of darkness under 4 and 8-hr photoperiods, and 8 hr after the onset of darkness under a 12-hr photoperiod. Howeve...

Coleus blumei x C. frederici plants, the same clone used at Princeton (3), were propagated by cuttings and grown in a growth chamber under continuous illumination by cool white fluorescent lamps and incandescent bulbs (about 1000 ft-c) at an air temperature of 25 + 1 C. The experimental plants were grown with their roots in 125-ml Erlenmeyer flasks filled with nutrient solution consisting of 1....

Hairy root induction in plants has affected by many factors including type, age of explant and bacterial strain. In the present study, the effects of bacterial strains (A4, C58, 15834 and GM), two concentrations (OD600= 0.5 and 1) and two explants (leaves and stems) in hairy root induction of C. blumei</...
متن کاملThe effect of simulated weightlessness and short-term light-dark cycle on retinoic acid levels in serum and hippocampus of rats
Background: spacecrafts rotate around the Earth every 90 minutes, so the 24-hour cycle turns to 90 minutes. Retinoic acid, an active metabolite of vitamin A, plays a role in regulating the circadian rhythm and its deficiency can impair the biological clock function and consequently impair the circadian rhythm of locomotor activity. The goal of the study was to assay the effects of simulated spa...
