Medical Definition of Enhancement effect
1. Property of higher plant photosynthesis, discovered by Robert Emerson. The quantum yield of red light (less than 680nm) and far red light (700nm), when shone simultaneously on a plant, is greater than the sum of the yields of the light of the two wavelengths separately. This effect provides evidence for the cooperative interaction of two photosystems in photosynthesis. This entry appears with permission from the Dictionary of Cell and Molecular Biology (11 Mar 2008)
