The phytochromes' detection of light quality is what helps trigger changes in biomass partitioning. Plants grown in low light conditions have been shown to allocate more biomass to shoots (mainly leaves). | 593 |

526719 | This process occurs when changes in the environment render a gene redundant.
New gene families originate from orphan genes (isolated pseudogenes). These isolated genes occur by different mean. A gene duplicate accumulates enough mutations to be sufficiently divergent to no longer be recognized as part of the original gene family, horizontal transfer of new genes into a genome, or a new gene originate de novo from non-coding sequences. These orphan genes would then go through the processes of duplication, relocation and divergence to form a family. Gene family death occurs when the loss of a gene leads to the loss of the entire gene family. | 647 |
