Abstract excerpt
Plant photoreceptors detect light cues and initiate responses ranging from chloroplast differentiation to the control of morphogenesis and flowering. The photocontrol of photosynthesis-related nuclear genes appears closely related to 'retrograde plastid signals' by which the status of the organelle controls the expression of nuclear genes. However, what specific role, if any, plastid-originated signals play in...
