Red and far-red lights are perceived by plants through various photoreceptors including phytochromes. The red/far-red reversibility of seed germination was due to the-
a) photoreversibility of phytochrome
b) presence of red and far-red light at different fluence rate
c) Conversion of Pr to Pfr form through the effect of red light
d) equal proportion of red and far red light at same fluence rate
Which of the following combinations is correct?

Following are certain statements are related to the effect of red and far-red light;
a) under a dense canopy much of the red light is absorbed by plant pigments, resulting in transmittance of mostly far-red light
b) Pr (red) has highest photon flux at 680 nm while Pfr (far-red) has highest photon flux at 730nm
c) Pfr far-red light–absorbing form, which is considered to be the physiologically active form of phytochrome
d) R:FR ratio is strongly affected by the presence of a canopy because chlorophyll absorbs far-red but not red light
Which one of the combinations of above statements is incorrect?
