    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. Germination \[\xleftarrow{\,}\,{{P}_{730}}\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  [650\,nm] \\  \operatorname{Red}\,\lambda  \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{\overset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Far\,red\,\lambda  \\  [730\,\,nm] \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{}}\,}}\,\,{{P}_{650\,\,}}\]                                 \[\xrightarrow{\,}\] No germination
