Genome-wide regulation of light-controlled seedling morphogenesis by three families of transcription factors.

ABSTRACT: Three families of transcription factors have been reported to play key roles in light control of Arabidopsis seedling morphogenesis. Among them, bHLH protein PIFs and plant-specific protein EIN3/EIN3-LIKE 1 (EIN3/EIL1) accumulate in the dark to maintain skotomorphogenesis. On the other hand, HY5 and HY5 HOMOLOG (HYH), two related bZIP proteins, are stabilized in light and promote photomorphogenic development. To systemically investigate the transcriptional regulation of light-controlled seedling morphogenesis, we generated HY5ox/pifQein3eil1, which contained mutations of EIN3/EIL1 and four PIF genes (pifQein3eil1) and overexpression of HY5 Our results show that dark-grown HY5ox/pifQein3eil1 seedlings display a photomorphogenesi
