Phytochrome is a blue-green pigment or a photoreceptor present in plants. These pigments regulate several light-dependent developmental processes in plants, such as the germination of seeds, the timing of flowering, and elongation of seedlings. Phytochrome is expressed in most of the plant tissues.
