Source Description
TAIRencodes a novel Myc-related bHLH transcription factor, which physically associated with APRR1/TOC1 and is a member of PIF3 transcription factor family.
UniProtTranscription factor. Involved in responses to transient and long-term shade. Required for the light-mediated inhibition of hypocotyl elongation. Necessary for rapid light-induced expression of the photomorphogenesis- and circadian-related gene APRR9. Seems to play a role in multiple PHYB responses, such as flowering transition and petiole elongation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14668869, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16565297, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16891401}.
Function -- GeneRIF ? help Back to Top
  1. PIL1 is a direct target of phytochrome signaling and plays a key role in response to long-term shade in Arabidopsis.
    [PMID: 16565297]
  2. PIL1 is necessary for rapid light-induced expression of the photomorphogenesis- and circadian-related PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR9 gene, indicating a regulatory function in the early phy-induced transcriptional network.
    [PMID: 16891401]
  3. These data suggest that the second-phase decline in robustness of PIL1 derepression is an indirect consequence of the global developmental transition from the etiolated to the de-etiolated state.
    [PMID: 18296722]
  4. PIL1 plays a role as a decelerator of growth during early shade avoidance.

Source Description
UniProtINDUCTION: Expressed with a circadian rhythm showing peaks during the light period. Up-regulated by simulated shade in light-grown plants, in a phytochrome-dependent manner; low red/far-red ratio (R/FR) light, but repressed by a high R/FR light. Rapidly down-regulated after seedling deetiolation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14668869, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16565297, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16891401}.
