A. red
B. blue
C. violet
D. orange

Answer :

Phytochrome plays a critical role in seed germination. Red color maximizes the seed germination.

  • Red light promotes blooming and vegetative growth (but if a plant gets too much, it will become tall and spindly).
  • Growing foliage plants and short, stocky seedlings is good for blue light since it regulates plant growth (but too much will result in stunted plants).
  • Generally speaking, red-wavelength light encourages germination. Far-red (FR) light suppresses seed germination beneath the canopy by deactivating phytochrome photoreceptors.
  • This causes levels of gibberellins (GA) to drop and levels of abscisic acid (ABA) to rise.
  • Far red light has the best germination rate (100%), followed by black light (97.5%). The germination rate (95%) is the same under control and red light.
