targeted mutagenesis of Arabidopsis phototropins
Engineering MethodTargeted mutagenesis of Arabidopsis phototropins is an engineering method that tunes phototropin photocycle lifetime to shorten or prolong light-activated receptor signaling. In vitro, mutagenesis altered photocycle lifetime, and in planta slow-photocycling phot1 or phot2 variants extended activation and increased biomass under low-light conditions.
