Abstract excerpt
The Arabidopsis gene encoding the key flavonoid biosynthesis enzyme chalcone synthase (CHS) is regulated by several environmental and endogenous stimuli. Here we dissect the network of light signalling pathways that control CHS expression in mature leaves using cryptochrome (cry) and phytochrome (phy) deficient mutants. The UV-A/blue light induction of CHS is mediated principally by cry1, but neither cry1 nor...
