Abstract excerpt
To increase their fitness, plants sense ambient light conditions and modulate their developmental processes by utilizing multiple photoreceptors such as phytochrome, cryptochrome and phototropin. Even roots, which are normally not exposed to light, express photoreceptors and can respond to light by developing chloroplasts. In the present study, root greening was observed in Arabidopsis thaliana. Seedlings were...
