Summary.
The authors give the research results of the light, with different spectral composition, effect on the morphogenesis of wild-type of Arabidopsis thaliana (Col 0), as well as wei8-1tar1-1 and ahk2 mutants with modified signal transduction processes of auxins and cytokinins. A specially developed technique was used that simplifies the assessment of the light effect on the growth and development of A. thaliana plants, especially the configuration of their root system during the entire growing season.
Key words: A. thaliana, LED illumination, spectral composition, photomorphosis, auxin, cytokinin.
