Phytochrome A or phyA is rapidly degraded in the Pfr form-much more so than the other members of the family.

One phytochrome, phyA, is the main phytochrome in seedlings grown in the dark but rapidly degrades in light to produce Cry1.

The seedlings sense light through the light receptors phytochrome ( red and far-red light ) and cryptochrome ( blue light ).
25.
Her research interests are basic and applied aspects of the effects of light on plant development ( photoperiodism, phytochrome, photomorphogenesis ).
26.
This worked continued into his early years at the University of North Carolina and directed subsequent structure analyses of phytochrome by other labs.
27.
Repressed in the dark by other proteins, CCA1 s expression is activated when light is sensed by the phytochrome in the plant.
28.
If the seed has warmth, moisture and oxygen, the change in the phytochrome breaks the seed's dormancy and allows germination.
29.
Some examples are rhodopsin in the photoreceptor cells of the vertebrate retina, phytochrome in plants, and bacteriorhodopsin and bacteriophytochromes in some bacteria.

During his postdoctoral training, Jones established that the plant photoreceptor, phytochrome A, is dimeric and he showed a minimal structural unit for photoperception.
