Abstract excerpt
Photoreversibility, reversion of the inductive effect of a brief red light pulse by a subsequent far-red light pulse, is a property of photoresponses regulated by the plant photoreceptor phytochrome B (phyB). We screened for mutants with impaired photoreversibility to gain better insight into the phyB-specific signalling cascade. The phenotype of the mutant described is caused by a single amino acid exchange in a...
