Abstract excerpt
Cryptochrome blue-light receptors mediate many aspects of plant photomorphogenesis, such as suppression of hypocotyl elongation and promotion of cotyledon expansion and root growth. The cryptochrome 1 (cry1) protein of Arabidopsis is present in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells, but how the functions of one pool differ from the other is not known. Nuclear localization and nuclear export signals were genetically...
