Regulation of Gene Expression by Phytochrome
Abstract: AbstractThis review deals with the mechanism of Phytochrome action in regulating the expression of other genes. The PhyA and PhyB genes have the overlapping roles or there must be another Phytochrome species which are involved in the Phytochrome induction of CAB expression in these etiolated seedlings when they are exposed to red light. Double mutation of PhyA and PhyB potentially lowered the level of CAB mRNA in etiolated seedlings of …
