Abstract

Studies on the function of plant promoters have demonstrated the presence of regulatorycis-acting elements that mediate developmental or environmental signals. Analysis of many light-responsive genes showed thatcis-acting elements responsible for light regulated transcription are located within the 5' upstream region. Numerous light responsivecis-acting elements andtrans-acting factors have been identified and characterized. The present article reviews the recent advances in studies of light regulated transcriptional regulation and signal transduction.
