Abstract
Phytochromes mediate a variety of developmental and growth processes involved in the photomorphogenesis of plants. In this article, we review the current understanding of the structure and function of the photoreceptor, discuss some very preliminary results, and offer speculations and even conjectures that may elicit future studies into the molecular mechanisms of the phytochrome-mediated light signal transduction in plants.
