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 …

Light is a crucial environmental cue not only for photosynthetic energy production but also
for plant growth and development. Plants employ sophisticated methods to detect and …

Phosphorylation modification is required for the modulation of phytochrome B (phyB)
thermal reversion, but the kinase (s) that phosphorylate (s) phyB and the biological …

The chloroplast can act as an environmental sensor, communicating with the cell during
biogenesis and operation to change the expression of thousands of proteins. This process …

Phytochromes are red (R)/far-red (FR) light photoreceptors that play fundamental roles in
photoperception of the light environment and the subsequent adaptation of plant growth and …

Plants have evolved complex and sophisticated transcriptional networks that mediate
developmental changes in response to light. These light-regulated processes include …

The transcription factor LONG HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5) acts downstream of multiple families of
the photoreceptors and promotes photomorphogenesis. Although it is well accepted that …

Abstract UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8) is an ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation
photoreceptor that mediates light responses in plants. How plant UVR8 acts in response to …

The circadian clock is essential for coordinating the proper phasing of many important
cellular processes. Robust cycling of key clock elements is required to maintain strong …

Phytochromes are red/far-red light photoreceptors that convert the information contained in
external light into biological signals. The decoding process starts with the perception of red …
