The response spectrum for green light induced-acceleration of heading in wheat cv. Norin 61 was investigated using narrow-bandwidth (10 nm) green light within the range of 520–550 nm. Heading was observed from approximately 30 days after emergence. The earliest heading was observed at 540 nm, which suggests the presence of a green light photoreceptor different from hitherto known photoreceptors.
