Properties of phytochrome:

  • The spectrum of the light required for the responses explains a peak in the red at about 660 nm.
  • These kinds of responses can be modified by an application of far-red light (peak at 730 nm).
  • when the sensitive plant tissues are exposed to red (660 nm) light-sensitive spectrophotometers can cover a contraction in absorbance at 660 nm and an increase in absorbance at 730 nm.
  • Phytochrome is an important blue-green pigment present in most of the seed plants, free-sporing plants, and green algae.
  • Phytochromes are chromoproteins that contain a light-absorbing group in its structure.
  • It belongs to the class of photoreceptors that responds to environmental light conditions.
  • There are two interconvertible forms or phytochrome available.

Various biological responses controlled by it:

  • It controls various photomorphogenic responses in plants.
  • Important biological responses regulated by phytochrome are seed germination, growth of the stem, pigment synthesis, expansion of leaf, chloroplast development and flowering.
