Abstract
The spatial distribution of phytochrome (PHY1) mRNA in the fern Adiant um was investigated by in situ hybridization. PHY1 mRNAs are expressed predominantly in the abaxial rather than the adaxial part of the peti ole of leaf croziers. Moreover, the signals in light-grown croziers ar e predominantly nuclear in location rather than cytoplasmic.
