Research Abstract |
Phytochrome B (phyB) is a plants’ major photoreceptor that regulates various light responses in plants. In order to understand the molecular mechanism of phyB signal transduction, we performed a biochemical analysis to isolate proteins that interact with phyB in vivo. As a result, we identified several splicing-related factors as novel components of phyB signaling complex.
