Xanthomonas is a well-studied genus of bacterial plant pathogens whose members cause a
variety of diseases in economically important crops worldwide. Genomic and functional …

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 …

Phytochrome photoreceptors absorb far-red and near-infrared (NIR) light and regulate light
responses in plants, fungi, and bacteria. Their multidomain structure and autocatalytic …

Phytochromes are red-light photoreceptors discovered in plants with homologs in bacteria
and fungi that regulate a variety of physiological responses. They display a reversible …

Phytochrome proteins control the growth, reproduction, and photosynthesis of plants, fungi,
and bacteria. Light is detected by a bilin cofactor, but it remains elusive how this leads to …

Cellular levels of the second messenger cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP)
are determined by the antagonistic activities of diguanylate cyclases and specific …

Nature has evolved an astonishingly modular architecture of covalently linked protein
domains with diverse functionalities to enable complex cellular networks that are critical for …

Phytochromes are modular photoreceptors of plants, bacteria and fungi that use light as a
source of information to regulate fundamental physiological processes. Interconversion …

Phytochromes are red/far-red light photoreceptors in bacteria to plants, which elicit a variety
of important physiological responses. They display a reversible photocycle between the …

Two‐component systems (TCS) constitute the predominant means by which prokaryotes
read out and adapt to their environment. Canonical TCSs comprise a sensor histidine kinase …
