Mutants lacking phyA also failed to germinate in response to millisecond pulses of light, but showed a normal response to red light in the low-fluence range. Means pfr primarily receives VLFR

In the dark, the maximum absorption of the FMN chromophore is around 450 nm. 

Blue light induces the formation of a covalent bond between FMN and a cysteine residue, shifting the absorption maximum to 390 nm via a LOV660 intermediate form. The reaction is reversible in darkness.
