TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA1 regulates high-intensity blue light-induced phototropism by reducing CRYPTOCHROME1 levels.

The asymmetrical distribution of auxin supports high intensity blue light (HBL)-mediated phototropism. Flavonoids, secondary metabolites induced by blue light and TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA1 (TTG1), alter auxin transport. However, the role of TTG1 in HBL-induced phototropism in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) remains unclear.
