Abstract excerpt
Various photoreceptors in plants are used to monitor important environmental light signals and regulate plant development. Despite their functional importance, recent studies have demonstrated that red/far-red absorbing phytochromes or blue/UV-A absorbing cryptochromes are involved in local adaptation within a species' range. In the present study, to exemplify the intraspecific photoreceptor evolutionary pattern,...
