Abstract

Light regulates the behaviour of many organisms. New data indicate that the greening of plants is facilitated by light-dependent stabilization of a transcription factor that is rapidly degraded in darkness. Thus, photomorphogenesis joins cell division and circadian rhythm as another critical biological process that is governed by proteolysis.
