LIGHT PERCEPTION Connect to the Light

Abstract: Light perception in plants is mediated by photoreceptors called phytochromes for the red/far-red portions of the spectrum. Sweere et al. show that the first component in the signal transduction pathway for phytochrome B in Arabidopsis is the response regulator ARR4. Phytochrome B regulates the expression of ARR4, which in turn interacts with phytochrome B to further light signaling. Hormone-regulated expression of ARR4 and the effect of phosphorylation on its function suggest how the light signaling pathway may interact with other signaling pathways.
