The responses of plants to red and blue light involve a cascade of receptors and other proteins that translate the light signal into a growth response. Now, Christie et al. (p. 1698) elucidate further the transduction of the blue light signal into the physiological response. The protein encoded by the NPH1 locus in Arabidopsis binds a flavin chromophore and responds to blue light with increased autophosphorylation, thus clarifying the identity of the chromophore and the initial steps in response to blue light.
