}Light control of plant development is most dramatically illustrated by seedling development. Seedling development patterns under light (photomorphogenesis) are distinct from those in darkness (skotomorphogenesis or etiolation) with respect to gene expression, cellular and subcellular differentiation, and organ morphology. A complex network of molecular interactions couples the regulatory photoreceptors to developmental decisions. Rapid progress in defining the roles of individual photoreceptors…

A new class of constitutive photomorphogenic (cop) mutants is identified, in which dark-grown seedlings have open and enlarged cotyledons resembling those of light-grown wild-type seedlings, suggesting that COP2, COP3, and COP4 may act downstream of phytochrome in the light regulatory pathway.
