Sun-loving plants have the ability to detect and avoid shading through sensing of both blue and red light wavelengths. Higher plant cryptochromes (CRYs) control how plants modulate growth in response to changes in blue light. For growth under a canopy, where blue light is diminished, CRY1 and CRY2 perceive this change and respond by directly 2.1. Cryptochrome Families. CRYs are one of the various photoreceptor classes identified in higher plants. They are activated by blue light and play a vital role in plant growth and development [27,28,29].They are the first plant blue light receptors to be characterised at the molecular level [8,30].CRYs were first discovered in the model plant Arabidopsis []. Abstract. Phytochromes are red (R)/far-red (FR) light photoreceptors that play fundamental roles in photoperception of the light environment and the subsequent adaptation of plant growth and development. There are five distinct phytochromes in Arabidopsis thaliana, designated phytochrome A (phyA) to phyE. phyA is light-labile and is the primary 2. Light provides a major source of information from the environment during plant growth and development. Light perception is mediated through the action of several photoreceptors, including the phytochromes. In plants, light-dependent responses are controlled by a series of photoreceptors that can be classified into three known groups—the phytochromes, cryptochromes and phototropins (Quail Main. The phytochromes are signal-transducing photoreceptors that convert between inactive and active forms in response to different wavelengths of light. This conversion is used to synchronize Arabidopsis thaliana, the thale cress, mouse-ear cress or arabidopsis, is a small plant from the mustard family (Brassicaceae), native to Eurasia and Africa. Commonly found along the shoulders of roads and in disturbed land, it is generally considered a weed. . A winter annual with a relatively short lifecycle, A. thaliana is a popular model organism in plant biology and genetics.
