Abstract excerpt
In this study, oat phytochrome A (phyA), Arabidopsis phytochrome B (phyB) or Arabidopsis phytochrome C (phyC) were expressed in both day-neutral and photo-period-sensitive (short-day) tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Hicks). Introgression of the Maryland Mammoth (MM) gene into cv Hicks was used to confer short-day photo-periodic sensitivity. Expression of oat phyA led to characteristic hypersensitivity of...
