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

Basic helix-loop-helix proteins (bHLHs) comprise one of the largest families of transcription
factors in plants. They have been shown to be involved in responses to various abiotic …

Owing to diverse abiotic stresses and global climate deterioration, the agricultural
production worldwide is suffering serious losses. Breeding stress-resilient crops with higher …

Ideal plant architecture and drought tolerance are important determinants of yield potential
in rice (Oryza sativa). Here, we found that OsNAC016, a rice NAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) …

Early seedling development and emergence from the soil, which are critical for plant growth
and important for crop production, are controlled by internal factors, such as phytohormones …

Simple Summary Environmental stresses adversely affect rice production. Understanding
the molecular responses of rice to these stresses will have an enormous impact on the …

The ability to interpret daily and seasonal fluctuations, latitudinal and vegetation canopy
variations in light and temperature signals is essential for plant survival. However, the …

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 …

Plant basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors are involved in many physiological
processes, and they play important roles in the abiotic stress responses. The literature …
