Tissue-specific and light-dependent regulation of phytochrome gene expression in rice.

Abstract excerpt

Phytochromes are red- and far red light photoreceptors in higher plants. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) has three phytochromes (phyA, phyB and phyC), which play distinct as well as cooperative roles in light perception. To gain a better understanding of individual phytochrome functions in rice, expression patterns of three phytochrome genes were characterized using promoter-GUS fusion constructs. The phytochrome genes...
