The effect of short impulses of white and green light on the activity of ribulosediphosphate carboxylase in dark‐grown barley leaves has been studied Intermittent white light induces an increase in the activity of the enzyme. After 90 flashes a 30% increase in the activity is observed. Intermittent green light has no effect on the activity of the enzyme. A correlation between the increase in the activity of the enzyme and the accumulation of chlorophyll under the effect of intermittent white light has been observed.
