during seedling development. Using activation-tagging mutagenesis, we identified a
mutation, sob2-D (for suppressor of phytochromeB-4 [phyB-4]# 2 dominant), which
suppresses the long-hypocotyl phenotype of a phyB missense allele, phyB-4. This mutant
phenotype is caused by the overexpression of an APETALA2 transcription factor, SOB2, also
called DRN-like. SOB2/DRN-like transcript is not detectable in wild-type seedling or adult …
