Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation At higher light intensity, both photoreceptor mutants had shorter primary roots than WT.
- Observation phyA-211 had the lowest lateral root number at 38 and 75 μmol m − 2 s − 1.
- Observation phyA-211 had significantly fewer adventitious roots than WT and phyB-9 at all tested intensities.
- Observation Across all light intensities, about 5243 genes were differentially expressed.
- Observation White light intensity predominantly affected genes with catalytic activity located in cytoplasm and membrane.
- Observation Root irradiation at different white light intensities changed expression of key hormone, light signaling and clock pathway genes.
- Method / resource qRT-PCR validated altered expression of the listed light, hormone and clock genes.
