Abstract:
Light is one of the most important environmental factors, serving as the energy source of photosynthesis and a cue for plant developmental programs, called photomorphogenesis. Here, we provide a standardized operation to measure physiological parameters of photomorphogenesis, including in hypocotyl length, cotyledon size, and anthocyanin content.
