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 …

Zygnematophyceae are the algal sisters of land plants. Here we sequenced four genomes of
filamentous Zygnematophyceae, including chromosome-scale assemblies for three strains …

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

Light controls important physiological and morphological responses in fungi. Fungi can
sense near-ultraviolet, blue, green, red and far-red light using up to 11 photoreceptors and …

Mounting evidence suggests that terrestrialization of plants started in streptophyte green
algae, favoured by their dual existence in freshwater and subaerial/terrestrial environments …

Red and far-red light–sensing phytochromes are widespread in nature, occurring in plants,
algae, fungi, and prokaryotes. Despite at least a billion years of evolution, their photosensory …

Bryophytes occupy a basal position in the monophyletic evolution of land plants and have a
life cycle in which the gametophyte generation dominates over the sporophyte generation …

Many aspects of plant photoperception are mediated by the phytochrome (Phy) family of
bilin-containing photoreceptors that reversibly interconvert between inactive Pr and active …

Third-generation long-read sequencing is transforming plant genomics. Oxford Nanopore
Technologies and Pacific Biosciences are offering competing long-read sequencing …
