Abstract excerpt
The Arabidopsis HY4 gene, required for blue-light-induced inhibition of hypocotyl elongation, encodes a 75-kDa flavoprotein (CRY1) with characteristics of a blue-light photoreceptor. To investigate the mechanism by which this photoreceptor mediates blue-light responses in vivo, we have expressed the Arabidopsis HY4 gene in transgenic tobacco. The transgenic plants exhibited a short-hypocotyl phenotype under blue,...
