Abstract

In this review, we describe the regulation of photomovement responses by phototropin and phytochrome photoreceptors. The blue light receptor phototropin mediates various photomovement responses such as phototropism, chloroplast movement and stomatal opening. In cryptogamic plants including ferns, mosses and green alga, red as well as blue light mediates phototropism and chloroplast movement. The red/far‐red light reversibility suggests the involvement of phytochrome in these responses. Thereby, plant growth is presumably promoted by coordinating these photomovements to capture efficiently light for photosynthesis.

  • In most plants, blue light is the most effective wavelength for inducing the two reactions of chloroplast motility, including in angiosperms and cryptogamic plants.

    “In most plants, blue light is the most effective wavelength for inducing two reactions of chloroplast motility, including in angiosperms (e.g., Arabidopsis, spinach, tobacco) (Davis and Hangarter, 2012) and cryptogamic plants (e.g., ferns, mosses, lichens, algae) (Suetsugu and Wada, 2007b).”

    From The action of enhancing weak light capture via phototropic growth and chloroplast movement in plants (2022) · cites this paper as Suetsugu and Wada, 2007b

    The Introduction says blue light mediates photomovement responses in most plant species, and the Concluding Remarks identify blue-light-induced chloroplast accumulation and avoidance in mosses. The paper does not establish that blue is the most effective wavelength for both reactions; it also reports that red light induces chloroplast movement in some cryptogams. No page numbers are available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.85)

  • Red light induces chloroplast movement in several cryptogam plants, including Mougeotia scalaris, Adiantum capillus-veneris, and Physcomitrella patens.

    “In contrast, red light induces chloroplast movement in several cryptogam plants, including the alga Mougeotia scalaris, the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris, and the moss Physcomitrella patens (Schönbohm, 1980; Suetsugu and Wada, 2007b; Wada, 2008).”
  • Phototropism allows plants to orient their photosynthetic organs toward the light and occurs in mosses, ferns, and angiosperms.

    “Phototropism allows plants to orient their photosynthetic organs toward the light and this behavior also occurs in mosses, ferns, and angiosperms (Takemiya et al. 2005; Suetsugu and Wada, 2007b; Goyal et al. 2013; Hohm et al. 2013; Briggs, 2014).”

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.
