Abstract excerpt
Phytochromes (PHYs) are photoreceptors of the red (R ~660 nm) and far-red (FR ~730 nm) light, and they control a wide range of responses affecting crucial aspects of plant life. There are five genes PHYA-PHYE encoding for phytochromes of different but overlapping function. One of these, PHYA has the unique function controlling specific responses in high irradiance far-red, as well as in very weak light....
