Functional Ecology of a Blue Light Photoreceptor: Effects of Phototropin-1 on Root Growth Enhance Drought Tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana

• The blue light photoreceptor phototropin-1 has been shown to enhance fitness in Arabidosis thaliana under field conditions. Here, we ask whether performance consequences of phototropin-1 reflect its impact on root growth and drought tolerance. • We used a PHOT1-GFP gene construct to test whether p...
