Physiological and biochemical control of the responses of nuclear genes to light is reviewed,
emphasizing the diversity and complexity of light responses at several levels of gene …

The second edition of this best-selling handbook is bigger, more comprehensive, and now
completely current. In addition to thorough updates to the discussions featured in the first …

Phytochrome chromophore‐deficient mutants have been used as phytochrome‐deficient
plants to study many aspects of plant development. However, there are still a number of …

The hy1 mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana fail to make the phytochrome-chromophore
phytochromobilin and therefore are deficient in a wide range of phytochrome-mediated …

The aurea (au) and yellow-green-2 (yg-2) mutants of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are
unable to synthesize the linear tetrapyrrole chromophore of phytochrome, resulting in plants …

Pigment of the Imagination chronicles the story of phytochrome, the bright-blue
photoreversible pigment through which plants constantly monitor the quality and presence of …

A novel cDNA sequence homologous to a phytochrome B (phyB) gene that was isolated in a
library from tobacco tissue has been used in an Escherichia coli expression system to raise …
