Donated by:  University of London Enrique LopezJuez

Part of : Homozygous lines

Stock type: individual line

Material type: seed

Comment: Because the deficiency in phytochrome chromophore in hy1 recovers with age to some extent, the plants eventually grow to a considerable size and set seed without problem.

Phenotype

Photoreceptor multiple deficiency. hy1 is phytochrome chromophore deficient. cry1 is null for cryptochrome 1. cry2 is null for cryptochrome 2. Combined they cause extreme deetiolation defect.
