  • The experimental materials were obtained and set up based on the hypothesis that high levels of phytochrome A (as opposed to phytochrome B) would be produced as a result of exposure to a high intensity of far red (FR) light. 
  • Two sets of four genotypes (Standard, Variegated, Purple Hairy, and Non-Purple Hairless) of pre-grown Brassica rapa were planted.  
  • Light sources obtained through donation from Dr. Kevin Folta, of the University of Florida, were set up. 
  • The intensity of the red, green, and blue lights was set to 1 (lowest intensity), and the intensity of the far red was set to 9 (highest intensity). 
  • The plants were watered and measured everyday between 3:00pm and 5:00pm for one week.
