Phototropin
Phototropins are
stomata[2]
and the movement of chloroplasts. These blue light receptors are seen across the entire green plant lineage. When Phototropins are hit with blue light, they induce a signal transduction pathway that alters the plant cells' functions in different ways.
Phototropins are part of the
mRNAs in the cell.[8]
They are present in the guard cell.
