Light is life for plants. To continuously assess and adapt to fluctuations in the quality and
quantity of this essential commodity, plants deploy sensory photoreceptors, including the …

Light: an indicator of time and place

MM Neff, C Fankhauser, J Chory - Genes & development, 2000 - genesdev.cshlp.org
To grow and develop optimally, all organisms need to perceive and process information
from both their biotic and abiotic surroundings. A particularly important environmental cue is …

Molecular interaction between COP1 and HY5 defines a regulatory switch for light control of Arabidopsis development

LH Ang, S Chattopadhyay, N Wei, T Oyama, K Okada… - Molecular cell, 1998 - cell.com
Arabidopsis COP1 acts as a light-inactivable repressor of photomorphogenic development,
but its molecular mode of action remains unclear. Here, we show that COP1 negatively …

PIF3, a phytochrome-interacting factor necessary for normal photoinduced signal transduction, is a novel basic helix-loop-helix protein

M Ni, JM Tepperman, PH Quail - Cell, 1998 - cell.com
The mechanism by which the phytochrome (phy) photoreceptor family transduces
informational light signals to photoresponsive genes is unknown. Using a yeast two-hybrid …

[HTML][HTML] PIF4, a phytochrome‐interacting bHLH factor, functions as a negative regulator of phytochrome B signaling in Arabidopsis

E Huq, PH Quail - The EMBO journal, 2002 - embopress.org
Plants sense and respond to red and far‐red light using the phytochrome (phy) family of
photoreceptors. However, the mechanism of light signal transduction is not well defined …

Direct targeting of light signals to a promoter element-bound transcription factor

JF Martı́nez-Garcı́a, E Huq, PH Quail - Science, 2000 - science.org
Light signals perceived by the phytochrome family of sensory photoreceptors are transduced
to photoresponsive genes by an unknown mechanism. Here, we show that the basic helix …

ELF3 Encodes a Circadian Clock–Regulated Nuclear Protein That Functions in an Arabidopsis PHYB Signal Transduction Pathway

XL Liu, MF Covington, C Fankhauser, J Chory… - The Plant …, 2001 - academic.oup.com
Many aspects of plant development are regulated by photoreceptor function and the
circadian clock. Loss-of-function mutations in the Arabidopsis EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) …

GIGANTEA is a nuclear protein involved in phytochrome signaling in Arabidopsis

E Huq, JM Tepperman… - Proceedings of the …, 2000 - National Acad Sciences
In a genetic screen of available T-DNA-mutagenized Arabidopsis populations for loci
potentially involved in phytochrome (phy) signaling, we identified a mutant that displayed …

Phytochromes control photomorphogenesis by differentially regulated, interacting signaling pathways in higher plants

F Nagy, E Schäfer - Annual review of plant biology, 2002 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract In this review the kinetic properties of both phytochrome A and B measured by in
vivo spectroscopy in Arabidopsis are described. Inactivation of phyA is mediated by …

Phytochrome signalling is mediated through nucleoside diphosphate kinase 2

G Choi, H Yi, J Lee, YK Kwon, M Soo Soh, B Shin… - Nature, 1999 - nature.com
Because plants are sessile, they have developed intricate strategies to adapt to changing
environmental variables, including light. Their growth and development, from germination to …
