Abstract excerpt

The aurea mutants of tomato have been widely used as phytochrome-deficient mutants for photomorphogenetic and photobiological studies. By expressed sequence tag (EST)-based screening of sequence databases, we found a tomato gene that encodes a protein homologous to Arabidopsis HY2 for phytochromobilin synthase catalyzing the last step of phytochrome chromophore biosynthesis. The tomato protein expressed in...
