Elementary
processes of photoperception by phytochrome A (PhyA) for the
high-irradiance response (HIR) of hypocotyl elongation in Arabidopsis
were examined using a newly designed irradiator with LED. The effect of
continuous irradiation with far-red (FR) light could be replaced by
intermittent irradiation with FR light pulses if given at intervals of
3 min or less for 24 h. In this response, the Bunsen-Roscoe law of
reciprocity held in each FR light pulse. Therefore, we determined the
action spectrum for the response by intermittent irradiation using
phyB and phyAphyB double mutants. The
resultant action spectrum correlated well with the absorption spectrum
of PhyA in far-red-absorbing phytochrome (Pfr). Intermittent
irradiation with 550 to 667 nm of light alone had no significant effect
on the response. In contrast, intermittent irradiation with red light
immediately after each FR light pulse completely reversed the effect of
FR light in each cycle. The results indicate that neither red-absorbing
phytochrome synthesized in darkness nor photoconverted Pfr are
physiologically active, and that a short-lived signal is induced during
photoconversion from Pfr to red-absorbing phytochrome. The mode of
photoperception by PhyA for HIR is essentially different from that by
PhyA for very-low-fluence responses and phytochrome B for low-fluence responses.

Research Laboratory project (no. B2023) and National Institute for
Basic Biology Cooperative Research Program for the Okazaki large
spectrograph (grant nos. 97-524 and 98-522). Research was partly
supported by a grant from the Program for Promotion of Basic Research
Activity for Innovative Biosciences to M.F.

This paper is dedicated to Hans Mohr who had
made the greatest contribution to HIR.
