The successful existence of all higher organisms is dependent upon their ability to
coordinate complex developmental changes and to sense and respond to fluctuations in …

Plant ion channel activities are rapidly modulated in response to several environmental and
endogenous stimuli such as light, pathogen attack and phytohormones. Electrophysiological …

Phytochrome is a well-characterized plant photoreceptor, able to modulate many
morphological, physiological, and biochemical events through as yet undefined …

Phytochromes A and B have discrete photosensory functions in Arabidopsis. To determine
whether differential temporal or spatial expression patterns of the PHYA and PHYB genes …

As the stratospheric ozone layer is depleted, the biosphere will be exposed to higher levels
of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation (290–320 nm). Using laboratory light sources that simulate …

In this work, we studied the mechanism of light influence on AsA pool size in Avena sativa L.
under the effects of low intensity light at different wavelengths. Exposure to low intensity light …

Light signals have profound morphogenic effects on plant development. Signals perceived
by the red/far‐red absorbing phytochrome family of photoreceptors and the blue/green/UV‐A …

The presence of calcium is essential for chloroplast movement induced by blue light in
Lemna trisulca L. The regulatory role of calcium was confirmed by the inhibition of …

In caulonemal filaments of Physcomitrella patens which had been preincubated in the dark
for 24 h, irradiation with red light (640 nm, fluence rate 85 μmol· m− 2· s− 1) evoked (i) the …

Terrestrial plants perform a variety of movements, by which they optimize their utilization of
the existing environmental resources. Developing buds, flowers, inflorescences, fruits …
