Plant phototransduction. Phytochrome signal transduction

Curr Biol. 1994 Sep 1;4(9):844-6. doi: 10.1016/s0960-9822(00)00189-5.

Abstract

Signalling intermediates in plant phototransduction pathways have been identified. These new results suggest how plants maintain a hight photosyntheic efficiency despite changes in their light environment.
