Abstract

Photoresponses do not have to be mediated by fresh gene expression. Some responses are so fast that they do not allow enough time for synthesis, maturation, and transport first of the mRNA and then of the polypeptide, and for protein activity. This is the case for phototropism towards blue light, a phenomenon that has been particularly well described in the fungus Phycomyces and in some plants (Galland, 1990).

This review is dedicated to Prof. Charles Yanofsky on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
