The perception of light signals by the phytochrome family of photoreceptors has a crucial
influence on almost all aspects of growth and development throughout a plant's life cycle …

Phytochromes are bilin-binding photosensory receptors which control development over a
broad range of environmental conditions and throughout the whole plant life cycle. Light …

Under natural conditions, plants constantly encounter various biotic and abiotic factors,
which can potentially restrict plant growth and development and even limit crop productivity …

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 …

Phytohormones regulate numerous important biological processes in plant development
and biotic/abiotic stress response cascades. More than 50 and 100 years have passed since …

Sun-loving plants trigger the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) to compete against their
neighbors for sunlight. Phytochromes are plant red (R) and far-red (FR) light photoreceptors …

Plants growing at high densities interact via a multitude of pathways. Here, we provide an
overview of mechanisms and functional consequences of plant architectural responses …

Abstract The UV‐B photoreceptor UVR8 mediates multiple UV‐B responses in plants, but
the function of UVR8 in regulating root development has not previously been investigated …

The plant hormone auxin acts through regulated degradation of Auxin/INDOLE-3-ACETIC
ACID (Aux/IAA) proteins to regulate transcriptional events. In this review, we examine the …

Shade tolerance is an ecological concept used in a wide range of disciplines, from plant
physiology to landscaping or gardening. It refers to the strategy of some plants to persist and …
