Germination of Kalanchoë blossfeldiana Poelln. seeds is absolutely light-requiring. Germination of one seed is the result of one out of three reactions, viz. the very low fluence response (VLFR), the low fluence response (LFR) and the high fluence response/high irradiance response. In order to demonstrate the involvement of phytochrome for both photoresponses, i.e. VLFR and LFR, action spectra ...
