The phyB mutants are deficient in chlorophyll

phyB also appears to regulate LFRs, such as photoreversible seed germination

Mutants that lack phyA respond normally to red light, whereas mutants deficient in phyB are unable to respond to low-fluence red light

Red light-induced Pfr formation initiates the degradation of PIF proteins through phosphorylation, followed by degradation via the proteasome complex
