Abstract excerpt
Chloroplast relocation movement is induced by blue light in most plants tested. Under weak light, chloroplasts move toward a brighter area in a cell (called low-fluence-rate response or accumulation movement), but they avoid strong light and move away from the light (called high-fluence-rate response or avoidance movement). Recently, mutants deficient in the chloroplast avoidance movement were isolated from...
