Phytochromes exist in two interconvertible forms PR because it absorbs red (R; 660 nm) light PFR because it absorbs far red (FR; 730 nm) light

These are the relationships:

Absorption of red light by PR converts it into PFR

Absorption of far red light by PFR converts it into PR.

In the dark, PFR spontaneously converts back to PR.
