Abstract excerpt
Irradiation of etiolated wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings with a single pulse of blue (B) light with a total fluence equal to that of 1 min of sunlight causes the destabilization of nuclear-encoded Lhcb transcripts. Transcript destabilization is not observed in phototropin1 (phot1, formerly nph1) mutant seedlings, indicating that phot1 is likely the photoreceptor mediating this response. Destabilization...
