Light regulation of growth
Plants sense
1. Light quantity
2. Light quality (colors)
3. Light duration
4. Direction it comes from
Types of Phytochrome Responses
Two categories based on speed
3 classes based on fluence (amount of light needed)
Circadian rhythms
Many plant responses show circadian rhythms
• Once entrained, continue in constant dark, or light!
• Gives plant headstart on photosynthesis, other
processes that need gene expression
Circadian rhythms
Light & TOC1 activate LHY & CCA1 at dawn
LHY & CCA1 repress TOC1 in day, so they decline too
At night TOC1 is activated (not enough LHY & CCA1)
Phytochrome entrains the clock So does blue light

3 CRY genes
Blue Light Responses
3 CRY genes
All have same basic structure:
Photolyase-like domain binds FAD and a pterin (MTHF)
that absorbs blue & transfers energy to FAD in photolyase
(an enzyme that uses light energy to repair pyr dimers)
