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. |
