Red drop discovered by Emerson is due to disruption of photochemical activity of PS II.
The Emerson effect is the increase in the rate of photosynthesis after chloroplasts are exposed to the light of wavelength 680 nm (deep red spectrum) and more than 680 nm (far red spectrum).
When simultaneously exposed to light of both wavelengths, the rate of photosynthesis is far higher than the sum of the red light and far red light photosynthesis rates.
The effect was early evidence that two photosystems, processing different wavelengths, cooperate in photosynthesis.
