RESUMO
Turnip seedlings (Brassica rapa L.) irradiated for 24 hours with radiation at 720 nanometers synthesize chlorophyll a and anthocyanin. Antimycin A and 2,4-dinitrophenol, which are known to reduce cyclic photophosphorylation, also reduce anthocyanin synthesis. Noncyclic photophosphorylation is inhibited by 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea and o-phenanthroline. These compounds promote cyclic photophosphorylation and anthocyanin synthesis. On the basis of these findings it is suggested that the photomorphogenic response of anthocyanin synthesis in turnip seedlings arises in part through photosynthetic activity.
