Chloramphenicol has been found to inhibit the decrease in lag phase of chlorophyll accumulation in bean leaves that is brought about by a brief illumination followed by a prolonged dark period. The effectiveness of chloramphenicol depends on time of application. It is more effective when applied at the beginning of the dark period than at the end.
