High impact information on PHYD

Here, we used a set of photoreceptor mutants to test whether phytochrome D and/or phytochrome E can control germination of Arabidopsis [1].
Endogenous phyB, but not phytochrome D (phyD), partly suppressed phytochrome A (phyA)-dependent inhibition of hypocotyl elongation in far-red light (FR) [2].
Differential patterns of expression of the Arabidopsis PHYB, PHYD, and PHYE phytochrome genes [3].
The PHYB and PHYD phytochromes show greater than 80% amino acid sequence identity but the phenotypes of phyB null mutants demonstrate that these receptor forms are not functionally redundant [4].

Other interactions of PHYD

The PHYD- and PHYE-encoded proteins are of similar size to the other phytochrome apoproteins and show sequence similarity along their entire lengths [4].
