The past 30 years has seen a tremendous increase in our understanding of the light-signaling networks of higher plants. This short review emphasizes the role that Arabidopsis genetics has played in deciphering this complex network. Importantly, it outlines how genetic studies led to the identification of photoreceptors and signaling components that are not only relevant in plants, but play key roles in mammals.
在过去的 30 年中，我们对高等植物的光信号网络有了极大的了解。这篇简短的综述强调了拟南芥遗传学在破译这个复杂网络中所扮演的角色。重要的是，它概述了遗传研究如何导致鉴定出不仅在植物中具有相关性，而且在哺乳动物中发挥关键作用的光受体和信号成分。
