Phenotype

double mutant; slightly longer hypocotyl than the phy B single mutant in white light; longer hypocotyl than the phyB single mutant in red light and same length as that of the phyA mutant in far-red light; poorly developed cotyledons in red light unlike the single mutants, reduced red-light induction of CAB gene expression and reduced chlorophyll induction; PhyA and PhyB appear to have overlapping and complementary functions in controlling germination, seedling development, and flowering.
