Phytochromes are primary photoreceptors mediating diverse responses ranging from induction of germination to floral induction in higher plants. We have isolated novel recessive rep1 (reduced phytochrome signaling 1) mutants, which exhibit a long-hypocotyl phenotype only under far-red light but not under red light. Physiological characterization showed that rep1 mutations greatly reduced a subset of phytochrome Aregulated responses, including the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation, cotyledon expansion, modulation of gravitropic growth of hypocotyl, and induction of the CAB (encoding chlorophyll a/b binding protein) gene, without affecting the accumulation of anthocyanin, far-red-preconditioned blocking of greening, induction of germination, and induction of CHS (encoding chalcone synthase) and FNR (encoding ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductase) genes. These results suggest that REP1 is a positive signaling component, functioning in a branch of the phytochrome A signaling pathway. Molecular cloning and characterization of the REP1 gene revealed that it encodes a light-inducible, putative transcription factor containing the basic helix-loop-helix motif.
