Blue light signalling in chloroplast movements.
Chloroplast movements are among the mechanisms allowing plants to cope with changes in their environment. Chloroplasts accumulate at illuminated cell areas under weak light while they avoid areas exposed to strong light. These directional responses may be controlled by blue and/or red light, depending on the plant group. In terrestrial angiosperms only the blue light perceived by phototropins i...
متن کاملBlue light-induced chloroplast relocation.
Chloroplast relocation movement is induced by blue light in most plants tested. Under weak light, chloroplasts move toward a brighter area in a cell (called low-fluence-rate response or accumulation movement), but they avoid strong light and move away from the light (called high-fluence-rate response or avoidance movement). Recently, mutants deficient in the chloroplast avoidance movement were ...
متن کاملHydrogen peroxide is involved in high blue light-induced chloroplast avoidance movements in Arabidopsis.
One of the most important functions of blue light (BL) is to induce chloroplast movements in order to reduce the damage to the photosynthetic machinery under excess light. Hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)), which is commonly generated under various environmental stimuli, can act as a signalling molecule that regulates a number of developmental processes and stress responses. To investigate whether H...
متن کاملAbscisic acid and blue light signaling pathways in chloroplast movements in Arabidopsis mesophyll.
Abscisic acid (ABA) and phototropins act antagonistically to control stomatal movements. Here, we investigated the role of ABA in phototropin-directed chloroplast movements in mesophyll cells of Arabidopsis thaliana. We analyzed the expression of phototropins at mRNA and protein level under the influence of ABA. PHOT1 mRNA level was decreased by ABA in the dark while it was insensitive to ABA i...
متن کاملPhototropins mediate blue and red light-induced chloroplast movements in Physcomitrella patens.
Phototropin is the blue-light receptor that mediates phototropism, chloroplast movement, and stomatal opening in Arabidopsis. Blue and red light induce chloroplast movement in the moss Physcomitrella patens. To study the photoreceptors for chloroplast movement in P. patens, four phototropin genes (PHOTA1, PHOTA2, PHOTB1, and PHOTB2) were isolated by screening cDNA libraries. These genes were cl...
