Abstract
Plants must adapt to a capricious light environment, but the mechanism by w hich light signals are transmitted to cause changes in development has long eluded us. The search might be over, however, as two photoreceptors, phyto chrome and NPH1, have been shown to autophosphorylate in a tight dependent fashion.
