| After 8 h of re-aeration, the excised coleoptile tips were transferred to conical flasks with 50 ml aerated nutrient solution. |
| Comparison of the action spectrum of an Avena coleoptile s phototropic bending and the absorption spectra of carotenoids. |
| The growth rates were estimated from coleoptile lengths averaged over two independent experiments. |
