The authors demonstrated that the amino-terminal domain of phyB fused to GFP, GUS and NLS acted as a hypersensitive photoreceptor. The work forces us to rebuild our view of the mechanism for phytochrome signal transduction.

They have successfully identified several mutant alleles of phyB that fail to form speckles.

Furthermore, they report that PIF3 and phytochromes co-localize in the nuclear speckles that are formed at an early phase of the dark-to-light transition.

Contrary to our expectation, the results suggest that PIF3 acts as a negative regulator of photomorphogenesis.

Quail Nuclear translocation of the photoreceptor phytochrome B is necessary for its biological function in seedling photomorphogenesis Plant J 35 2003 660 664 This work provides firm evidence that phyB transduces the signal in the nucleus but not in the cytoplasm. The authors expressed phyB with the glucocorticoid receptor as a fusion protein. This protein was biologically active only when the plants were treated with glucocorticoid, which allowed the protein to be imported into the nucleus.
