The Function and Photoregulatory Mechanisms of Cryptochromes From Moso Bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis).

ABSTRACT: Light is one of the most important environmental factors affecting growth and geographic distribution of forestry plants. Moso bamboo is the largest temperate bamboo on earth and an important non-woody forestry species that serves not only important functions in the economy of rural areas but also carbon sequestration in the world. Due to its decades-long reproductive timing, the germplasm of moso bamboo cannot be readily improved by conventional breeding methods, arguing for a greater need to study the gene function and regulatory mechanisms of this species. We systematically studied the photoregulatory mechanisms of the moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) cryptochrome 1, PheCRY1. Our results show that, similar to its Arabidopsis counterpart, the bamboo PheCRY1s are functiona
