ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5), a bZIP-type transcription factor, acts as a master
regulator that regulates various physiological and biological processes in plants such as …

Cryptochromes are blue-light receptors that mediate photoresponses in plants. The
genomes of most land plants encode two clades of cryptochromes, CRY1 and CRY2, which …

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation is an intrinsic fraction of sunlight that plants perceive through
the UVR8 photoreceptor. UVR8 is a homodimer in its ground state that monomerizes upon …

In seasonal flowering, plants need to monitor environmental variables. A combination of
photoreceptors and the circadian clock initiate signals that regulate a network of genes in …

Light plays an important role in plants' growth and development throughout their life cycle.
Plants alter their morphological features in response to light cues of varying intensity and …

As a source of both energy and environmental information, monitoring of incoming light is
crucial for plants to optimize growth throughout development. Concordantly, the light …

When exposed to changes in the light environment caused by neighboring vegetation,
shade-avoiding plants modify their growth and/or developmental patterns to access more …

Light is one of the most essential environmental factors affecting many aspects of growth
and developmental processes in plants. Plants undergo skotomorphogenic or …

Cryptochromes (CRYs) are blue light photoreceptors that regulate growth, development, and
metabolism in plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis), CRY1 and CRY2 possess …

About 95% of the ultraviolet (UV) photons reaching the Earth's surface are UV-A (315–400
nm) photons. Plant responses to UV-A radiation have been less frequently studied than …
