Short exposure of the spores of Cheilanthes farinosa to low intensity red light promotes their germination, which is not reversed by a subsequent exposure to far red light. Germination is, however, inhibited by blue light administered before or after red light. Inhibition of germination by blue light is annulled by exposure to a higher intensity of red light, and germination of the repromoted spores is inhibited by far red light. Mutual photoreversibility of germination is also observed in repromoted spores irradiated successively with far red and red light. Although germination appears to be basically under phytochrome control, it is postulated that the presence of a blue light-absorbing pigment interferes with phytochrome transformations in the spores.
