Term given to tall spindly plants which have been grown in the dark or in light of very low intensity.
thinning of a plant due to lack of light.
A condition involving lack of chlorophyll, increased stem elongation, and poor leaf development. It is seen on plants growing in constant darkness.
elongation of stems caused by reduced light intensities
plants that, due to insufficient light, grow distortedly with small leaves, long stems and abnormally long internodes.
Growth without light. Etiolated plants are generally pale, with long shoots and reduced roots and leaves. ( see also)
a pale and sickly appearance; "his etiolation signaled years in prison"
(botany) the act of causing a plant to develop without chlorophyll by growing it without exposure to sunlight; "the etiolation of celery"
The formation of weak, spindly foliage deficient in Chlorophyll, usually occurs in light of too low intensity.
Yellowing and long, spindly growth as a result of insufficient light.
A phenomenon exhibited by plants grown in the dark: etiolated plants are pale yellow and have long internodes and small leaves. ( 20)
Growth of plants from seeds in darkness. A yellowing condition of the plants due to light deficiency characterized by an elongated stem, small leaves, and lack of chlorophyll.
(´-ê-e-lâ´-shen) - Development of yellow, long, spindly growth on a plant as a result of insufficient light.
Etiolation is a plant response to stimuli. When plant seeds are grown in insufficient light, either in partial or complete absence of light, the seedlings will have long, weak steams, smaller and fewer leaves, and a pale yellow color (chlorosis). This is due to a lack of chlorophyll.
