Cryptochrome blue-light photoreceptors of Arabidopsis implicated in phototropism.

Nature - 16 Apr 1998

Ahmad M, Jarillo J A, Smirnova O, Cashmore A R

Abstract excerpt

Phototropism-bending towards the light-is one of the best known plant tropic responses. Despite being reported by Darwin and others over a century ago to be specifically under the control of blue light, the photoreceptors mediating phototropism have remained unknown. We have characterized a blue-light photoreceptor from Arabidopsis, named CRY1 for cryptochrome 1; this photoreceptor is a flavoprotein that mediates...
