3 Light regulation of Plant Development
Plants use light as food and information Use information to control development

4 Light regulation of growth
Plants sense Light quantity Light quality (colors) Light duration Direction it comes from Have photoreceptors that sense specific wavelengths

5 Light regulation of growth
Red light (666 nm) promotes germination Far red light (>700 nm) blocks germination After alternate R/FR color of final flash decides outcome Seeds don't want to germinate in the shade! Pigment is photoreversible

6 Phytochrome Made as inactive cytoplasmic Pr that absorbs at 666 nm or in blue Converts to active Pfr that absorbs far red (730nm)

7 Types of Phytochrome Responses
Two categories based on speed Rapid biochemical events Morphological changes

8 Types of Phytochrome Responses
3 classes based on fluence (amount of light needed) VLF:induced by 0.1 nmol/m-2 , 50nmol/m-2 2. LF: induced by 1 µmol/m-2, µmol/m-2 3. HIR: require prolonged exposure to higher fluence Effect is proportional to Fluence

9 Types of Phytochrome Responses
3 classes based on fluence (amount of light needed) VLF:induced by 0.1 nmol/m-2 , 50nmol/m-2 2. LF: induced by 1 µmol/m-2, µmol/m-2 3. HIR: require prolonged exposure to higher fluence Different responses = Different phytochromes: 3 in rice, 5 in Arabidopsis

10 Types of Phytochrome Responses
Different responses = Different phytochromes: 3 in rice, 5 in Arabidopsis PHYA mediates VLF and HIR due to FR Very labile in light 2. PHYB mediates LF and HIR due to R Stable in light

11 Types of Phytochrome Responses
PHYA & PHYB are often antagonistic. In sunlight PHYB mainly controls development In shade PHYA 1st controls development, since FR is high But PHYA is light-labile; PHYB takes over & stem grows "shade-avoidance"

12 Phytochrome Pr has cis-chromophore

13 Phytochrome Pr has cis-chromophore Red converts it to trans = active shape

14 Phytochrome Pr has cis-chromophore Red converts it to trans = active shape Far-red reverts it to cis

15 Phytochrome Pfr is a protein kinase: acts by kinasing key proteins some stays in cytoplasm & activates ion pumps

30 Phytochrome COPs target specific TF for degradation W/O COPs they act in dark In light COP1 is exported to cytoplasm so TF can act Tags PHYA by itself on the way out!
