Appears in the following schemes

Photoperiod pathway

Protein function

Encodes a light-labile photoreceptor.

Phenotype

Multiple mutant:
phyB and phyE mutations enhance the early flowering-time phenotype of phyB single mutant. [Devlin et al., 1998]

Single mutant:
phye single mutant is early flowering under SD conditions only. [Clack et al., 2009]

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 morphogenic 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.
