Abstract
One of the most complex topics to study in biology is the ability of organism to perceive, code, transmit, and integrate environmental information, which is used to direct the cellular metabolism and developmental processes occurring. The detection of different wavelengths of light by specific mechanism plays a key role in plant development. Although great progress has been made in the study of plant photoreceptor pigments, some pigment systems are understood better than others.
