Plants are sessile and photo-autotrophic; their entire life cycle is thus strongly influenced by
the ever-changing light environment. In order to sense and respond to those fluctuating …

Light signals are fundamental to the growth and development of plants. Red and far-red light
are sensed using the phytochrome family of plant photoreceptors. Individual phytochromes …

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 …

▪ Abstract Plants utilize several families of photoreceptors to fine-tune growth and
development over a large range of environmental conditions. The UV-A/blue light sensing …

The Arabidopsis thaliana genome contains five class III homeodomain-leucine zipper
genes. We have isolated loss-of-function alleles for each family member for use in genetic …

Background and Aims The ability to detect and respond to the impending threat of shade
can confer significant selective advantage to plants growing in natural communities. This …

Among different environmental stresses, cold stress can significantly affect plant's
physiological activity, biochemical metabolism, growth, development and crop productivity …

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 …

Plants compete with neighbouring vegetation for limited resources. In competition for light,
plants adjust their architecture to bring the leaves higher in the vegetation where more light …

Phytochromes are red/far‐red light receptors that regulate various light responses by
initiating the transcriptional cascades responsible for changing the expression patterns of 10 …
