Fluorescence and Photochemical Investigations of Phytochrome in Higher Plants

Figure 13

phy is inactive under far-red light and inhibits phy action. This is revealed by induction of Pchlide655 biosynthesis in hypocotyls of transgenic tobacco overexpressing full-length oat phyA (FL, represented by both phyA species) and 7–69 deleted phyA (NA, consisting of only phy ). The seedlings were grown in darkness (left column) and in far-red ( 720 nm, I = 0.1 W m−2) light (right column). (From [70]).
