Abstract excerpt
After germination, plants determine their morphogenesis, such as hypocotyl elongation and cotyledon opening, by responding to various wavelengths of light (photomorphogenesis). Cryptochrome is a blue-light photoreceptor that controls de-etiolation, stomatal opening and closing, flowering time, and shade avoidance. Successful incorporation of these phenotypes as indicators into a chemical screening system results...
