Phytochrome, a family of photoreceptors with multiple physiological roles
Abstract
Abstract.Photoperception by phytochrome is crucially important at many stages of the plant life cycle in allowing adaptation to a changing light environment. Phytochrome is encoded by a family of genes subject to differential expression in response to environmental and developmental factors. Multiple forms of phytochrome exist with, in some cases, identifiably different spectrophotometric, biochemical and physiological characteristics. This article reviews the regulation of development by phytochrome and discusses evidence from physiological studies of wild type, mutant and transgenic plants consistent with the proposal that different members of the phytochrome family have different photosensory roles. We speculate briefly on the possible evolutionary relationship between the different photosensory roles, and suggest approaches towards further elucidation of the nature of phytochrome‐mediated photoperception and adaptation to the natural light environment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
