Excised etiolated cotyledons of cucumber (C. sativus L. cv. Aonagajibai) were continuously irradiated under various intensities of white light. The rate of chlorophyll (Chl) formation during the lag phase reaches a plateau at fluence rates above 1.4 .mu.mol m-2 s-1. This is true in both water-control and benzyladenine (BA)-pretreated cotyledons. In cotyledons pretreated for 14 h with BA in darkness (in which case, Chl formation is stimulated by BA during both the lag and the steady-state phases), the increase in the steady-state rate of Chl formation with increasing light intensity is stimulated compared to that of the water control over the range of fluence rates, 0.25-43 .mu.mol m-2 s-1. In cotyledons pretreated for 6 h with BA in darkness (only Chl formation during the lag phase is stimulated), only an increase in fluence rate from 0.25 to 1.4 .mu.mol m-2 s-1 causes a higher increase in the Chl formation in the BA-treated cotyledons than in the water control. The time course of Chl formation shows that the BA-induced late-appearing effect (stimulation of the steady-state rate) is almost absent at low intensity illumination, but the BA-induced fast-appearing effect (elimination of the lag phase) is effective at all intensities. The Chl-forming process apparently consists of 2 components, whose periods of operation or light-intensity requirements are different. BA stimulates the rates of the respective components in both the fast and the late-appearing effects.
