Abstract excerpt
Phytochromes are primary photoreceptors mediating diverse responses ranging from induction of germination to floral induction in higher plants. We have isolated novel recessive rep1 (reduced phytochrome signaling 1) mutants, which exhibit a long-hypocotyl phenotype only under far-red light but not under red light. Physiological characterization showed that rep1 mutations greatly reduced a subset of phytochrome...
