Abstract
The nucleo/cytoplasmic distribution of members of the phytochrome photoreceptor family is regulated by light. Light quality- and quantity-dependent nuclear import of these photoreceptors plays a critical role in mediating light-induced signalling. In this chapter we discuss results obtained by analysing the kinetics of changes in the light-dependent intracellular localization of wild-type and mutant PHYB:YFP fusion proteins.
