Abstract:Aquatic life is strongly structured by the distribution of light which, besides attenuation in intensity, exhibits a continuous change in the spectrum with depth. The extent to which light changes are perceived by phytoplankton is largely unknown. By focusing on marine diatoms, we here provide the first in vivo quantitative assessment of responses to spectral variations mediated by a marine phytochrome photoreceptor. Our findings reveal that diatom Phytochromes (DPH) display widely conserved R/FR absorption sp… Show more
