Abstract excerpt
Phytochrome (phy), a 124 kDa biliprotein, mediates plants' perception of environmental light conditions including quantity, quality and duration of light. The complex phenomenology of phy function is connected with its polymorphism, the major phys being phyA and phyB. PhyA mediates irreversible photoresponses in the very low and high fluence ranges (VLFR and HIR) primarily in the far-red (FR) spectral region,...
