Abstract excerpt
Plants are very sensitive to their light environment. They use cryptochromes and phytochromes to scan the light spectrum. Those two families of photoreceptors mediate a number of similar physiological responses. The putative bHLH (basic Helix Loop Helix) transcription factor long hypocotyl in far-red (HFR1) is important for a subset of phytochrome A (phyA)-mediated light responses. Interestingly, hfr1 alleles...
