RESUMO
Red and far red light distinctly influence the initial phytochrome-mediated phase of cold acclimation in red-osier dogwood (Cornus stolonifera). Under controlled conditions, short days and end-of-day far red light exposure after long days promote growth cessation, cold acclimation, and subsequent cold hardening of dogwood stems in response to low temperature. Nuclear magnetic resonance absorption spectra of the water in internode stem sections imply that the short day-induced phase of cold acclimation involves a change in tissue hydration, at least in part, due to a substantial reduction in bulk phase water as a result of senescence and loss of water from the pith. Seasonal responses to light and an attempt to induce early acclimation under natural conditions with end-of-day far red light are discussed.
