Abstract— At 37°C the active form of phytochrome in lettuce seed cannot function to promote subsequent germination. This effect of high temperature is distinct from thermal acceleration of dark reversion from the active form of phytochrome to the inactive form, and may be due to reversible denaturation of phytochrome.

Effect of light and temperature on the germination of lettuce seeds
TLDR
It is suggested that high temperature acts by decreasing the threshold of the active, far-red absorbing, form of phytochrome (Pfr) needed to promote germination.
Phytochrome transformation in lettuce seed irradiated at various temperatures.
TLDR
Phototransformation of phytochrome in lettuce seeds was examined by testing germination responses of seeds irradiated at various temperatures, finding that at -15 C far red light more effectively retarded germination than red light promoted it.
An action spectrum in the blue for inhibition of germination of lettuce seed
TLDR
Using a 2-h irradiation period at constant quantum irradiance, a complete action spectrum for inhibition of germination of lettuce seed has been obtained and it was shown that phytochrome potentiation of Germination is maximal at all wavelengths below 700 nm, including the highly active blue region.
THE TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF Pfr ACTION GOVERNS THE UPPER TEMPERATURE LIMIT FOR GERMINATION IN LETTUCE
TLDR
It is concluded that factors that alter the upper temperature limit for germination do so by changing the temperature dependence of phytochrome action.
Influence of Ageing on Photo-and Thermo-Control of Seed Germination in Grand Rapids Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.)
TLDR
Germination induction effects in the heat-sensitized seeds with high temperature pretreatment after the onset of imbibition are greater in GA3 than in R light, and photoreversible induction by the prolonged exposure to FR light is due to the secondary photo-dormant stage of the seeds.

High temperature during imbibition of lettuce seeds can inhibit germination. Several methods to circumvent thermoinhibition and, or thermodormancy have been proposed including resistant germplasm,…
The Viability of Germination in Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) Seeds Pretreated by Dark (D) and Far-Red Light (FR) at Low (25°C) or High (35°C) Temperature
TLDR
The viability of eggplant seeds is controlled by D and FR at low (25°C) or high temperature pretreatments after the onset of imbibition, but those pretreated by D at 25°C are led to the deterioration in the viability of germination.
Phytochromes in Agrobacterium fabrum
The focus of this review is on the phytochromes Agp1 and Agp2 of Agrobacterium fabrum. These are involved in regulation of conjugation, gene transfer into plants, and other effects. Since crystal…
Interaction of carbon dioxide and ethylene in overcoming thermodormancy of lettuce seeds.
The combination of ethylene with CO(2) will completely overcome the thermodormancy of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) seeds at 35 C. This combination is effective if it is added to seeds either at the…
Temperature Effects on Agrobacterium Phytochrome Agp1
TLDR
The temperature-dependent kinase activity and spectral properties in the physiological temperature range suggest that Agp1 serves as an integrated light and temperature sensor in A. tumefaciens.

Mediation of phytochrome in the inductive action of low temperature on dark germination of lettuce seed at supra-optimal temperature.
TLDR
Results are interpreted as indicating that the active (far-red absorbing) form of phytochrome is pre-existing in the dry seed, and interacts with a co-factor which is built-up during imbibition.
Photosensitive Site in Lettuce Seeds
TLDR
It is concluded that the photoreceptor is probably located in the tip of the hypocotyl of Grand Rapids lettuce seeds, and that far-red light is effective only in inhibiting it.

It has been proposed that promotion by gibberellic acid an(l kinefin is effecte(d via (lifferent mechanlisms, neither of which is the samiie as that for l)rolllotion l)y R, to eluicidlate the germination-prolimotinig effect of low templerature.
Action of Light on Lettuce-Seed Germination
TLDR
The observations of Flint and McAlister that imbibed seed of some lettuce varieties can be promoted in germination by irradiation in the red portion of the spectrum and inhibited in the infrared were verified and the action spectrum for lettuce-seed germination is the same as that effective for photoperiodic control of floral initiation.
