The plant photoreceptor phytochrome exhibits remarkable structural and functional variabilities in the plant cell.
Moreover, it has been suggested that some of the reported blue-UV effects may have resulted from phytochrome instead of blue-UV photoreceptor action.
Light signalling pathways from both phytochrome and cryptochrome photoreceptors regulate clock components to achieve entrainment in plants.
These adaptative responses are known to be governed by reactions in which the light-sensitive pigment phytochrome plays a part.
This macroscopically observable reaction was identified to be coupled with light-induced processes of the photoreceptor phytochrome.
Also of interest is whether variation observed at the phytochrome loci in domesticated sorghum, or in particular races, is a result of human selection.
