Multiple Phytochromes Are Involved in Red-Light-Induced Enhancement of First-Positive Phototropism in Arabidopsis thaliana

The amplitude of phototropic curvature to blue light is enhanced by a prior
exposure of seedlings to red light. This enhancement is mediated by
phytochrome. Fluence-response relationships have been constructed for
red-light-induced enhancement in the phytochrome A (phyA) null mutant, the
phytochrome B- (phyB) deficient mutant, and in two transgenic lines of
Arabidopsis thaliana that overexpress either phyA or phyB. These
fluence-response relationships demonstrate the existence of two responses
in enhancement, a response in the very-low-to-low-fluence range, and a
response in the high-fluence range. Only the response in the high-fluence
range is present in the phyA null mutant. In contrast, the phyB-deficient
mutant is indistinguishable from the wild-type parent in red-light
responsiveness. These data indicate that phyA is necessary for the
very-low-to-low but not the high-fluence response, and that phyB is not
necessary for either response range. Based on these results, the
high-fluence response, if controlled by a single phytochrome, must be
controlled by a phytochrome other than phyA or phyB. Overexpression of phyA
has a negative effect and overexpression of phyB has an enhancing effect in
the high-fluence range. These results suggest that overexpression of either
phytochrome perturbs the function of the endogenous photoreceptor system in
an unpredictable fashion.
