Abstract excerpt
Plants use a set of light sensors to control their growth and development in response to changes in ambient light. In particular, phytochromes exert their regulatory activity by switching between a biologically inactive red-light-absorbing form (Pr) and an active far-red-light absorbing form (Pfr). Recently, biochemical and genetic studies have demonstrated the occurrence of phytochrome-like proteins in...
