Abstract excerpt
The family of phytochrome photoreceptors plays an essential role in regulating plant growth and development in response to the light environment. An antisense PHYB transgene has been introduced into wild-type Arabidopsis and shown to inhibit expression of the PHYB sense mRNA and the phyB phytochrome protein 4- to 5-fold. This inhibition is specific to phyB in that the levels of the four other phytochromes,...
