Protein function
Encodes a bHLH transcription factor.
Phenotype
Single mutant: pil1 single mutant is late flowering under SD conditions only.
[Salter et al., 2003][Khanna et al., 2006] Remarks: PIL1 is necessary for rapid light-induced photomorphogenesis.
[Khanna et al., 2006] Function:Transcription factor. Involved in responses to transient and long-term shade. Required for the light-mediated inhibition of hypocotyl elongation. Necessary for rapid light-induced expression of the photomorphogenesis- and circadian-related gene APRR9. Seems to play a role in multiple PHYB responses, such as flowering transition and petiole elongation.
