In all photoperiodic plants,

In the winter when days are short, [P_R] > [P_FR]

In the summer when days are long, [P_R] < [P_FR]

The critical difference is that,

In short-day (i.e., winter flowering) plant species, P_FR inhibits flowering.

In long-day (i.e., summer-flowering) plant species, P_FR induces flowering.

During phytochrome-mediated leaflet closure, the apoplastic pH of the dorsal motor cells (the cells that swell during leaflet closure) decreases, while the apoplastic pH of the ventral motor cells (the cells that shrink during leaflet closure) increases.

Continuous red light absorbed by phyB stimulates de-etiolation by maintaining high levels of PfrB.

Continuous far-red light absorbed by PfrB prevents this stimulation by reducing the amount of PfrB.
