Abstract

There is considerable evidence that individual members of the five-membered phytochrome family of photoreceptors in Arabidopsis have differential functional roles in controlling plant photomorphogenesis. Emerging genetic evidence suggests that this differential activity may involve initially separate signalling pathway branches specific to individual family members.
