Abstract excerpt

Phytochrome A (phyA) is an important photoreceptor controlling many processes throughout the plant life cycle. It is unique within the phytochrome family for its ability to mediate photomorphogenic responses to continuous far-red light and for the strong photocontrol of its transcript level and protein stability. Here we describe a dominant mutant of garden pea (Pisum sativum) that displays dramatically enhanced...
