Climatic change predicts elevated salinity in soils as well as increased carbon dioxide dioxide [CO2] in the atmosphere. The present study aims to determine the effect of combined salinity and elevated [CO2] on sulfur (S) metabolism and S-derived phytochemicals in green and purple broccoli (cv.
A comparison was made between in-vivo phytochrome difference spectra of light- and dark-grown plant material. Spectral differences were found to be caused, at least to a large extent, by screening by chlorophyll and not by differences in phytochrome. Presence of chlorophyll affects the phytochrome
