Richard hypothesis 

d/w = resource separation ratio.

d/w < 1, species cannot coexist;

1 < d/w < 3, there will be some competition between species

d/w > 3, species coexist harmoniously

The PRD domain of phyB serve as an NLS. 

Conversion of Pr to Pfr by red light expose the functional NLS of the PRD domain of phyB, facilitating phyB’s import into the nucleus.

PRD domain of phyA cannot act as an NLS, so to transport it into the nucleus requires FARRED ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL1 (FHY1) and its homolog FHY1-LIKE (FHL),

Phytochrome responses fall into three major categories based on the amount of light they require: very low fluence responses (VLFRs), low-fluence responses (LFRs), and high-irradiance responses (HIRs).

Arabidopsis seeds can be induced to germinate with red light in the range of 0.001 to 0.1 μmol m–2 at very-low-fluence responses (VLFRs).

LFRs is found at red region (660 nm) and (720 nm) includes processes such as the promotion of lettuce seed germination, inhibition of hypocotyl elongation, and regulation of leaf movements.
