PTEN can remove phosphate groups attached to serine,

threonine, and tyrosine residues in proteins, its ability to

remove the 3-phosphate from PI(3,4,5)P3 is its major function in cells.

Effects of red light (650–680 nm) on morphogenesis could be reversed by a subsequent irradiation with light of longer wavelengths (710–740 nm), called far-red light. This phenomenon was first demonstrated in germinating seeds.

In dark-grown or etiolated plants, phytochrome is present in a red light–absorbing form, referred to as Pr because it is synthesized in this form.

Pr, which to the human eye is blue, is converted by red light to a far-red light–absorbing form called Pfr, which is bluegreen.
