The results obtained were as follows : 1. In the early developmental stages of buds, anthocyanin levels in the petals grown in a dark environment were approximately half to those grown in the light. 2. But in the later stages, the levels in the petals grown in the dark were substantially the same as those grown in the light. 3. The experiments conducted with the disks produced similar results as with the petals. From these observations, it seems reasonable to suggest that the physiological and/or biochemical systems involved in the response to light in the formation of anthocyanin in petunia petals in the early stages differ from those found in the later developmental stages of the bud., Article, 信州大学理学部紀要 25(1): 11-15(1990)}, pages = {11--15}, title = {The Effects of Light on the Formation of Anthocyanin in Petunia Petals.}, volume = {25}, year = {1990} }
