Abstract
Light plays an indispensable role throughout the life span of higher plants. It provides energy for photosynthesis and has profound effects on gene expression. The alterations in the activity of specific genes triggered by fluctuations in ambient light quality and quantity culminate in a variety of developmental responses (Kuhlemeier et al., 1987).
