Light signals in leaf and chloroplast development: photoreceptors and downstream responses in search of a transduction pathway.

The New biologist - 1 Jun 1991

Chory J

Abstract excerpt

Light affects both the development and the metabolism of plants. In addition to the role of light in providing energy for photosynthesis, light signals cause profound changes in the morphology of the developing young seedling, including cotyledon expansion, leaf development, inhibition of stem growth, and production of chlorophyll in the photosynthetically competent chloroplast. The light-dependent development of...
