Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Highlights
- PHYA over-expression confers tolerance to continuous light regardless the light spectrum.- In the absence of far-red light, PHYB1 slightly diminishes the continuous light-induced injury.- Continuous light down-regulates photosynthesis genes in sensitive tomato lines.

Plants perceive and transduce information about light quantity, quality, direction and photoperiod via several photoreceptors and use it to adjust their growth and development. A role for photoreceptors has been hypothesized in the injuries that tomato plants develop when exposed to continuous light as the light spectral distribution influences the injury severity. Up to now, however, only indirect clues suggested that phytochromes (PHY), red/far-red photoreceptors, are involved in the continuou ...[more]
