Abstract
Photomorphogenesis, the phenomenon of growth and development in response to light, provides a valuable experimental system in which to study the regulation of gene expression by environmental stimuli. Light is involved in many aspects of plant development and has been shown to induce changes in the synthesis of a number of nuclear- and plastid-encoded proteins. In several plant species light is known to effect changes in the expression of genes encoding ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPCase) (for review, see 1).
