Abstract. Light effects on the expression of nuclear genes for plastid proteins and for the 18S, 5.8S and 25S ribosomal RNAs are discussed, together with some recent information concerning the expression of chloroplast genes in developing plastids. Emphasis is given to the diversity of different responses observed with different genes and evidence for light effects at both transcriptional and post‐transcriptional levels.
