Expression of potential PIF direct target genes was generally reduced in Physcomitrella pif mutants compared to wildtype.

Claim 3light response regulationsupports2020Source 1DOIPubMed

Expression of the examined genes was strongly repressed in continuous light, and pif mutants showed partial downregulation of these genes in the dark.
