1 As the action spectrum for phototropism resembles the absorption spectrum of a flavoprotein, flavoproteins are attractive candidates at present, especially since the CRY1 photoreceptor in Arabidopsis thaliana that mediates blue light-dependent hypocotyl growth suppression has flavin adenine dinucleotide as one of its two chromophores. Flavin-Adenine Dinucleotide cryptochrome 1 Arabidopsis thaliana
