Photoperiod pathway
Time-course regulation of photoperiodic pathway

Protein function

Encodes a light-labile photoreceptor.

Phenotype

Remarks:
hos1 and phyb mutations have additive effects and the double mutant flowers earlier than either single mutants. [Lü¾Œ–”¼zaro et al., 2015]

Remarks:
phyb early-flowering phenotype is suppressed by co mutation. PHYB acts in the phloem to regulate flowering-time. [Lü¾Œ–”¼zaro et al., 2015]

Overexpressor:
PHYB overexpressor shows conflicting results. [Endo et al., 2005][Bagnall et al., 1995]

Single mutant:
phyb single mutant is early flowering under both SD and LD conditions. [Endo et al., 2005][Klose et al., 2012][Monte et al., 2003][Clack et al., 2009][Halliday et al., 2003]

Remarks:
PHYB represses the expression of FT in vascular bundles. [Endo et al., 2005]

Function:
Regulatory photoreceptor which exists in two forms that are reversibly interconvertible by light: the Pr form that absorbs maximally in the red region of the spectrum and the Pfr form that absorbs maximally in the far-red region. Photoconversion of Pr to Pfr induces an array of morphogenetic responses, whereas reconversion of Pfr to Pr cancels the induction of those responses. Pfr controls the expression of a number of nuclear genes including those encoding the small subunit of ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase, chlorophyll A/B binding protein, protochlorophyllide reductase, rRNA, etc. It also controls the expression of its own gene(s) in a negative feedback fashion. Involved in the flowering time regulation. [Data from UniProt]
