However, the time of maximum ROD varied with wavelength. For example. ROD maxima at 432, 470, 493, 560, 600, 654, 682, and 760 nm occurred at L + 9, L + 9, L + 9, L + 14, L + 14, L + 12, L + 9, and D + 2, respectively. Values of ROD at 760 nm. where pigment absorption should be negligible, are defined to represent relative light scattering. The above observations were then interpreted as resulting from the addition of two different rhythms—light absorption by the photosynthetic pigments and light scattering. The light absorp- tion rhythm seemed to have a maximum around mid-photophase, while light scatter-.
