Abstract

Organisms sense and respond to light. Besides light provides energy for photosynthesis, it does also give plants information about their environment. In addition to other pigments in plants, chromophores which are sensitive to light exist. Nowadays discovered photoreceptors reached at 16 in plants. Of these phytochromes, cryptochromes, phototropins, and UVR8 can be mentioned. Among others phytochromes, sense both red (R) and far-red (FR) light, are discovered first and effective in plant growth and development. Phytochromes play important roles in seed dormancy, germination, seedling growth, flowering, and maturity or senescence phases in plants. Phytochromes firstly occur in Pr form. Pr, which is not biologically active, after it absorbs red light during day time, Pr form is converted to Pfr form, which is biologically active. Pfr form reaches high level via accumulation during the day, its level decreases through conversion and disintegration during the night. Pr/Pfr ratio provides photoperiod lenght perception in plants. Phytochromes can be investigated in two groups such as Type I (labile to light) and Type II (stabile to light). According to another view, phytochromes contain four modes of action namely, LFR (low fluence response), VLFR (very low fluence response), HIR (high irradiance response), and R/FR (red/far-red ratio). Unraveling the molecular structures of plant phytochromes might provide to understand communication mechanism of the phytochromes. Using cheaper and high-throughput next nucleotide sequencing technologies, ChIP-seq, and RNA-seq methods might help to description of phytochromes in genomic level.

Özet

Canlılar ışığı algılar ve tepki verir. Işık fotosentez için enerji kaynağı sağlamasının yanında, bitkilere çevrelerindeki durum hakkında da bilgi verir. Bitkilerde diğer pigmentlere ek olarak kromofor ismi verilen ışığa duyarlı pigmentler de bulunur. Günümüzde bitkilerde keşfedilen ışık algılayıcılarının sayısı 16’ya ulaşmıştır. Bunlar arasında fitokromlar, kriptokromlar, fototropinler ve UVR8 sayılabilir. Bunlardan kırmızı (R) ve kırmızı ötesi (FR) ışığı algılayan fitokromlar hem ilk keşfedilenlerdir hem de bitki büyüme ve gelişmesinde etkilidir. Fitokromlar bitkilerde tohum dinlenmesi, çimlenmesi, fide büyümesi, çiçeklenme ve yaşlanma gibi safhalarda önemli rol oynarlar. Fitokromlar öncelikle Pr formunda oluşur. Biyolojik olarak aktif olmayan Pr, gündüz kırmızı ışığı absorbe ettikten sonra aktif olan Pfr’ye dönüşür. Gündüz birikerek yüksek seviyeye ulaşan Pfr formu, dönüşüm ve parçalanma yoluyla gece azalır. Pr/Pfr oranı, bitkinin fotoperiyodun uzunluğunu algılayabilmesini sağlar. Fitokromlar ışığa göre değişken olan Tip I ve ışığa karşı göreceli olarak kararlı olan Tip II şeklinde 2 grupta incelenebilir. Diğer bir görüşe göre fitokromlarda düşük ışık şiddetine tepki veren LFR formu, çok düşük ışık şiddetine tepki veren VLFR formu, yüksek ışık şiddetine tepki veren HIR formu ve kırmızı/kırmızı ötesi oranına tepki veren R/FR formu olarak 4 grup tepki modu bulunur. Bitki fitokromunun yapısının çözülmesi, fitokromların haberleşme mekanizmasının anlaşılmasını sağlayabilecektir. Daha ekonomik, yüksek çıktılı yeni generasyon baz dizileme teknolojileri, ChIP-seq ve RNA-seq yöntemlerinin kullanımı yoluyla fitokromun genom seviyesinde tanımlanmasına yardım edebilecektir.
