Abstract
An important role of light in plant growth and development is to regulate the expression of a wide variety of genes at levels ranging from the initiation of transcription through protein degradation. Light quality and quantity initiate or modulate a wide variety of morphogenic processes beginning with seed germination, de-etiolation, and chloroplast biogenesis, and extending through flowering and seed set. The signal transduction mechanisms by which plants perceive light and respond by modifying gene expression are of obvious interest. We currently know of three types of mechanisms. Several wavelength-specific photoreceptors regulate photomorphogenesis, while various aspects of growth and metabolism respond to the functional state of the photosynthetic apparatus (notably including the redox state of electron transport intermediates) and/or to the levels of various photosynthetic metabolites.
