Abstract
SummaryPhotomorphogenesis of higher plants is regulated by photoreceptors including the red/far‐red light‐absorbing phytochromes, blue‐UV/A sensing cryptochromes and as yet uncharacterized UV/B receptors. Specific phototransduction pathways that are controlled by either individual or interacting photoreceptors mediate regulation. Phytochrome B (phyB) is the major red light‐sensing photoreceptor. Phototransduction mediated by this light sensor has been shown to include light‐dependent nuclear import and interaction of phyB with transcription factor‐like proteins in the nucleus. Here we report that nuclear import of phyB and physiological responses regulated by this photoreceptor exhibit very similar wavelength‐ and fluence rate‐dependence. Nuclear import of phyB is insensitive to single red, blue and far‐red light pulses. It is induced by continuous red light and to a lesser extent by continuous blue light, whereas far‐red light is completely ineffective. The data presented indicate that light‐dependent partitioning of phyB exhibits features characteristic of blue light responsiveness amplification, a phenomenon that is thought to be mediated by interaction of phyB with CRY1.
