Pfr_Ptot_R_FR: Pr:Ptot ratio (photoequilibrium) from R:FR photon ratio.

Description

Calculation of Pfr:Ptot ratio for Type I Phytochrome from red:far-red photon ratio. "Exact" only for dichromatic irradiation, only approximate for R:FR ratio calculated from a broadband light source.

Usage

Pfr_Ptot_R_FR(R.FR)

Arguments

R.FR

R:FR a single value or a vector of photon ratio (unitless) values

Value

a single value or a vector of numeric values giving the Pr:Ptot unitless ratio
