Phototropin-related NPL1 controls chloroplast relocation induced by blue light
Article Abstract:
Research is presented concerning the influence of the Arabidopsis gene NPL1 in the relocation of chloroplasts which has been induced by blue light. The role of NPL1 as a photoreceptor is discussed.

An Arabidopsis circadian clock component interacts with both CRY1 and phyB
Article Abstract:
Research is presented concerning the use of circadian clocks by Arabidopsis thaliana for the control of photosynthetic activity changes on a daily basis. The influence of photoreceptors phyB and CRY1 are discussed.

Cryptochrome blue-light photoreceptors of Arabidopsis implicated in phototropism
Article Abstract:
Research into the photoreceptors mediating phototropism has involved screening for second-site mutations in the hy4 (CRY1-deficient) genetic background of Arabidopsis to find possible mutations in CR2 that prompt the loss of the phototropic response. The impact of cryptochrome on phototropism in cryptochrome-overexpressing and null-mutant seedlings was studied. The cry1cry2 mutant was more impaired in blue-light responses such as anthocyanin accumulation than the CRY1-deficient parent, as well as being deficient in phototropism.
