Abstract excerpt
Plants have evolved exquisite sensory systems for monitoring their light environment. The intensity, quality, direction and duration of light are continuously monitored by the plant and the information gained is used to modulate all aspects of plant development. Several classes of distinct photoreceptors, sensitive to different regions of the light spectrum, mediate the developmental responses of plants to light...
