    The form of pigment which Inhibits germination is:

    A)  \[{{P}_{760}}\]                                

    B)  \[{{P}_{730}}\]

    C)  \[{{P}_{650}}\]          

    D)  all of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    The seed germination is promoted by red wavelength (650 nm) and inhibited by far red (730 nm), this is due to the pigment phytochrome behaving in the following manner. \[\text{Germination}\xleftarrow[{}]{{}}{{\text{P}}_{730}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  [650\,nm] \\  \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{Red}\,\lambda  \end{smallmatrix}}{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  \text{Far}\,\text{red}\,\lambda  \\  [730\,nm] \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{}}}\,{{\text{P}}_{650}}\]\[\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\]No germination
