Plants respond to blue light by growing toward the source of the light. Seedlings from several mutants in Arabidopsis show defects in this phototropism response. Huala et al. have cloned the gene, NPH1, affected by one of these mutants. The protein, located in the plasma membrane, becomes heavily phosphorylated in response to blue light and may represent a very early step in the response to light.
