Photoperiod pathway
Time-course regulation of photoperiodic pathway

Protein function

Encodes a flavin-type blue-light photoreceptor.

Phenotype

Multiple mutant:
cry1;cry2 double mutant is late flowering under LD conditions and continuous blue light [Liu et al., 2008][Mockler et al., 2003]

Single mutant:
cry2 single mutant is late flowering under LD conditions. [Koornneef et al., 1991][Guo et al., 1998]

Remarks:
Remarks [Liu et al., 2008]

Function:
Mediates blue light-induced gene expression. Involved in blue light-dependent stomatal opening and inhibition of stem and root growth. Regulates the timing of flowering by promoting the expression of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) in vascular bundles. Negatively regulated by FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). Involved in triggering chromatin decondensation. [Data from UniProt]
