Abstract excerpt
Blue light modulates many processes in plants and plant cells. It influences global and long-term responses, such as seedling development and phototropism, and induces short-term adaptations like stomatal opening and chloroplast movement. Three genes were identified as important for the latter process, namely PHOT1, PHOT2 and CHUP1. The former two phototropin blue light receptors act in perception of the blue...
