Reversal of the effects of a night interruption in lemna by inhibitors of ribonucleic Acid synthesis.
The inhibition of flowering of Lemna perpusilla Torr. strain 6746 caused by a light break can be partially reversed by treatment with actinomycin D or 2-thiouracil. Actinomycin D is most active in reversing the response to a light break if the inhibitor is present in the fronds at the time the light break is administered.
