High impact information on SPA3

  • Mutations in SPA1 cause phyA-independent early flowering under short day (SD) but not long day (LD) conditions, and this phenotype is enhanced by additional loss of SPA3 and SPA4 function [1].
  • In these processes, SPA2, SPA3 and SPA4 have overlapping but distinct functions [2].
  • Enhanced photoresponsiveness of spa3 mutants is also fully dependent on phytochrome A in far-red and blue light, but not in red light [3].
