Abstract excerpt
The phytochrome gene (PHY1) cDNA from the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris encodes an amino acid sequence that shows equal similarity (50-60%) to all five Arabidopsis phytochromes (PHYA-E). The A. capillus-veneris PHY1 cDNA was transformed into Arabidopsis ecotype Landsberg erecta to investigate its activity in angiosperms. Three of the resulting lines contained at least 8 times more spectrally active phytochrome...
