In botany, etiolation is a characteristic of flowering plants (angiosperms) grown in partial or complete absence of light. It is characterized by long, weak stems; smaller leaves due to longer internodes; and a pale yellow color (chlorosis). The development of seedlings in the dark ("") leads to etiolated seedlings.
