Light control of plant
development : Seed
germination and de-
etiolation

Light in plant’s life
Light – major
environmental factor
influencing the course
of seedling
development

Seed germination
• vulnerable / susceptible life stage in
plant development
• sensor & mechanism  respond to
environmental condition (ex. light, water
condition, gravity etc)
• transition between embryonic and
postembryonic development
• Post embryonic shoot development
 Activation of SAM  first true leaf

Etiolation
Iriawati, SITH - ITB 16
Seedling development
• In the dark : etiolation -
skotomorphogenesis
– No chlorophyll production
– Limited and/or abnormal organ
(root, stem, leaf) development
• When exposed to light : de-
etiolation -
photomorphogenesis
– Chlorophyll synthesis
– Proper development begins
• Why the difference?
– Limited seed reserves
– Efficient use of resources until
capable of Ps (i.e., chorophyll
production).
De-etiolasi
• Transformasi dari kondisi etiolasi ke kondisi
dengan pertumbuhan normal (green state)
• Bisa terjadi beberapa saat setelah kecambah
yang mengalami etiolasi terpapar oleh cahaya.
• Cahaya akan menginduksi pengurangan
kecepatan elongasi sel batang, pelurusan apical
hook, inisiasi pembentukan atau perkembangan
pigmen fotosintetik , energi bagi proses
fotosintesis
• Sehingga fotosintesis bukanlah yang
menginduksi de-etiolasi karena klorofil tidak
terbentuk, akan tetapi cahaya 17

De-etiolasi
20
Photomorphogenesis
• Sejumlah perubahan yang terjadi saat de-
etiolasi terjadi karena tanaman melakukan
respon terhadap cahaya
• Photomorphogenesis ‘light form begins’
• Pertumbuhan tanaman merupakan respon
terhadap cahaya yaitu terhadap perubahan
jumlah, tipe, durasi dan arah datangnya cahaya.
• Membutuhkan Photoreceptors, yang membuat
tanaman dapat mengintepretasikan cahaya
• Photoreceptor : phytochrome menyerap cahaya
merah dan merah jauh (far red), serta reseptor
cahaya biru
21
Phytochrome
• Pigments that
absorb red (665 nm)
and far-red (730 nm)
light.
• Ubiquitous in plants,
role in most all plant
development.
• Phytochrome can
interconvert
between Pr and Pfr
