Genetic Evidence That the Red-Absorbing Form of Phytochrome B Modulates Gravitropism in Arabidopsis thaliana

Hypocotyls of dark-grown Arabidopsis seedlings exhibit strong negative
gravitropism, whereas in red light, gravitropism is strongly reduced.
Red/far-red light-pulse experiments and analysis of specific
phytochrome-deficient mutants indicate that the red-absorbing (Pr) form of
phytochrome B regulates normal hypocotyl gravitropism in darkness, and
depletion of Pr by photoconversion to the far-red-absorbing form attenuates
hypocotyl gravitropism. These studies provide genetic evidence that the Pr
form of phytochrome has an active function in plant development.
