Abstract
At least three different photoreceptor classes (phytochromes, blue UV-A- and UV-B receptors) control the transition from skotomorphogenesis to photomorphogenesis (Mohr and Schäfer, 1983). The control of elongation rate, photoperiodism as well as mRNA accumulation after partial reetiolation by phytochromes and blue UV-A receptors is also documented (Schäfer et al., 1984; Kuhlemeier et al., 1987).
