Seed dormancy allows seeds to overcome periods that are unfavourable for seedling
established and is therefore important for plant ecology and agriculture. Several processes …

▪ Abstract Light control of plant development is most dramatically illustrated by seedling
development. Seedling development patterns under light (photomorphogenesis) are distinct …

Phytochromes are a family of plant photoreceptors that mediate physiological and
developmental responses to changes in red and far-red light conditions. In Arabidopsis …

Plant responses to red and far-red light are mediated by a family of photoreceptors called
phytochromes. In Arabidopsis thaliana, there are genes encoding at least five …

We have examined the seed germination in Arabidopsis thaliana of wild type (wt), and
phytochrome A (PhyA)-and B (PhyB)-mutants in terms of incubation time and environmental …

We examined whether spectrally active phytochrome A (PhyA) and phytochrome B (PhyB)
play specific roles in the induction of seed germination in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh …

The control of seed germination by red and far-red light is one of the earliest documented
phytochrome-mediated processes Phytochrome is now known to be a small family of …

Seeds of the wild type (WT) and of the phyA and phyB mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana were
exposed to single red light (R)/far-red light (FR) pulses predicted to establish a series of …

Seeds receive information about the succession of seasons through fluctuations in
temperature. In arid and semi-arid zones, the timing of precipitation adds important …

Flowering response and plant form of photomorphogenic mutants (hy1, hy2, hy3, hy4 and
hy5) of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.), a long‐day plant, were examined in long and short days …
