The basic helix-loop-helix domain-containing transcription factors that interact physically
with the red and far-red light photoreceptors, phytochromes, are called PHYTOCHROME …

The ability of a seed to germinate and establish a plant at the right time of year is of vital
importance from an ecological and economical point of view. Due to the fragility of these …

The dynamic and specific transcriptome for high light (HL) stress in plants is poorly
understood because heat has confounded previous studies. Here, we perform an in-depth …

Seed dormancy and germination are two closely linked physiological traits that have great
impacts on adaptation and survival of seed plants. Seed dormancy strengthen and …

With the burgeoning population of the world, the successful germination of seeds to achieve
maximum crop production is very important. Seed germination is a precise balance of …

Seed dormancy is an adaptive trait in plants. Breaking seed dormancy determines the timing
of germination and is, thereby essential for ensuring plant survival and agricultural …

Abstract PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTORs (PIFs) are a group of basic helix-loop-
helix (bHLH) transcription factors that repress plant light responses. PIF8 is one of the less …

Highlights•PIFs have diverged to regulate various aspects of plant life cycles.•PIF is
conserved from seed plants to liverwort.•Tomato PIF1a regulates carotenoid synthesis in …

Drought is the leading environmental threat affecting crop productivity, and plants have
evolved a series of mechanisms to adapt to drought stress. The FT-interacting proteins …

Photomorphogenesis is a critical plant developmental process that involves light-mediated
transcriptome and histone modification changes. The transcription factor ELONGATED …
