Several types of blue-light receptors regulate the effects of higher-intensity blue light to ensure the proper development of the plant. One type of blue-light receptor called cryptochrome is tasked with stimulating pigments that affect seedling development and flowering, particularly by inhibiting irregular cell elongation.
