Abstract
Light regulates almost all physiological and biochemical processes in plants. Plants react to quantitative and qualitative light characteristics owing to the system of photoreceptors and a branched network for light signal transduction. Comprehensible visual representations of gene networks using of filter technology in the GeneNet system assist understanding the types of the relationships between the components inside the networks and to define their hierarchical structure.
Key words: gene networks, signal transduction, photomorphogenesis, photoreception
