Fig. 6

The transcription of GR is increased in the presence of light, thereby suppressing GvTcR expression. The target genes of GvTcR, ABC transporter ATP binding protein, and self-regulation are suppressed and a sufficient number of GRs are present to maintain energy production function. Under dark conditions, the transcription of GR does not increase; however, the existing GRs regulate the gene expression of GvTcR.
