Chlorophyll (Chl) a and Chl b contents, rate of CO2gas exchange, quenching coefficients of chlorophyll fluorescence, and endogenous phytohormones have been studied in primary leaves of barley seedlings cultivated under blue (BL) or red (RL) light. Photon flux densities (PFD) were between 0.3 and 12 μmol m-2s-1. Plants grown at PFD of 0.3 μmol m-2s-1demonstrated in BL tenfold and in RL threefold decreased Chl content compared to plants grown at 12 μmol m-2s-1. Chl a/b ratio increased from 2.3–2.5 to 4.4–4.5 in BL, not in RL, following the decrease in PFD at plant cultivation from 12 to 0.3 μmol m-2s-1. Plants cultivated at weak BL demonstrated severalfold decreased rate of photosynthetic CO2uptake, whereas decrease in PFD of RL from 12 to 0.3 μmol m-2s-1caused only 20% de cline in the rate of photosynthesis. Decrease in PFD during a plant cultivation reduced the maximum quantum yield of photosynthesis in BL, not in RL leaves. Light response curves of non-photochemical and photochemical quenching of chlorophyll fluorescence calculated on the basis of absorbed quanta were not affected by PFD of RL during plant cultivation. On the contrary, both non-photochemical quenching and accumulation of QA-, reduced primary acceptor of Photosystem II, occurred at lower amounts of absorbed quanta in leaves of BL plants grown at 0.3 than at 12 μmol m-2s-1. Two photoregulatory reactions were suggested to exert the light control of the development of photosynthetic apparatus in the range of low PFDs. The photoregulatory reaction saturating by very low PFDs of RL was supposed to be mediated by phytochrome. Phytochrome was proposed to enhance (as related to other pigment-protein complexes of thylakoids) the accu mulation of chlorophyll- b-binding light-harvesting complex of Photosystem II (LHC II). It acts independently of the pigment mediating the second photoregulatory reaction, as evidenced by the results of experiments with plant growth under mixed blue plus red light. The contents of cytokinins and indole-3-acetic acid in a leaf were not significantly affected by either light quality and PFD thus indicating those phytohormones not to be involved into photoregulatory processes.
