Abstract
Advances in our capacity to design and use novel strategies for achieving inducible gene expression will improve our ability to define gene function. An extremely efficient system designed by nature -- that of the regulatable phytochrome system in plants -- has provided the basis for developing a novel inducible gene expression system.
