Abstract/Summary:
As sessile organisms, plants have evolved elaborate mechanisms to sense and respond to their environment. One of the most important environmental factors is light. SOB3, which encodes a member of a nuclear localized, plant-specific AT-hook motif containing protein family, was identified from an activation-tagging screen for suppressors of the long-hypocotyl phenotype of a weak phyB allele, phyB-4. sob3-D ( suppressor of phyB-4...
