@robsabba: carotenoids don't really absorb much green light, look up an absorbtion spectrum if you don't believe me. @dummy92 The plants will actually grow in green light for a while, and they will probably grow faster. Here's why: when a plant seed ...

Where your thermal cycle times the same as theirs? What about the voltage across the gel and the time of the run? Did you expose the RNA to light too much? It's possible you denatured them. Also, there may have been RNAses in your extract that could have reduced copy count drastically.

hi guys, i'm new around here. I'm doing an experiment of how tomato seedlings of the same type response to different light spectrum. i read on the internet that green light is useless for plants. but what happens to those seedlings which are exposed only to green light. certainly ...

i don't know what the numerical value is for any particular organism, but it has to do with growing in low light. If the plant grows in very low light, it will accumulate more clorophyll b to capture more light, so the ration will decrease.
