Plastochron - the time interval between initiation of successive primordia-leaf, flower, floral organ (wild-type Arabidosis plant will produce one leaf about every one to three days, so the leaf plastochron is about 1-3 days).
Phytochrome is a photoreceptor, a pigment that plants use to detect light. It is sensitive to light in the red and far-red region of the visible spectrum.
