Two blue-light photoreceptors (cry1 and phot1) function differently in hypocotyl light responses
Plant Science Research WeeklyPlants have several types of light receptors that control various responses to light, such as leaf expansion, time-of-flowering, and hypocotyl elongation. When seeds are germinated in the dark, their hypocotyl elongates rapidly because darkness is perceived as being deep underground; the elongation is…
