Plants have evolved with multiple photoreceptors, Phytochrome is one of them. Which of the following statements is incorrect about these photoreceptors?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. Phytochrome in the functionally active dimeric form with a molecular mass of about 250 kDa
  2. phytochrome chromophore is a linear tetrapyrrole and absorbed light called phytochromobilin
  3. Phytochromobilin is exported  to the cytosol where it autocatalytically attaches to the PHY apoprotein through a thioether linkage to a cysteine residue
  4. Phytochromobilin undergoes to the cis and trans isomerisation with its pyrrole ring around C-12 and C-13 after absorbing light
