Abstract

Blue and UV light initiate a range of important responses in plants and yet relatively little is know about the mechanisms of blue and UV light perception and signal transduction. The aim of this project is to investigate the signal transduction pathway(s) for responses to blue light and, through screening transgenic seedlings, several Arabidopsis mutants altered in responses to blue light and, through screening transgenic seedlings, several mutants altered in the light-induction of chalcone synthase promoter activity. We propose to (i) characterise these mutants fully (ii) isolate genes encoding specific signal transduction components, (iii) isolate a full spectrum of mutants altered in UV/blue signal transduction.
