Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: The cryptochrome photoreceptor mutant cry2I404F exhibits hyperactivity in the dark, hypersensitivity in different light conditions, and in contrast to the wild-type protein, its flavin chromophore is reducible even in the absence of light. Plant cryptochromes (cry) are blue-light photoreceptors involved in multiple signaling pathways and various photomorphogenic responses. One biologically...
