Basic helix-loop-helices (bHLHs) are present in all eukaryotes and form one of the largest
families of transcription factors (TFs) found in plants. bHLHs function as transcriptional …

Phytochromes are bilin-binding photosensory receptors which control development over a
broad range of environmental conditions and throughout the whole plant life cycle. Light …

The size of plant organs is highly responsive to environmental conditions. The plant's
embryonic stem, or hypocotyl, displays phenotypic plasticity, in response to light and …

Plants are responsive to temperature, and some species can distinguish differences of 1° C.
In Arabidopsis, warmer temperature accelerates flowering and increases elongation growth …

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 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 …

Plants use photoreceptor proteins to detect the proximity of other plants and to activate
adaptive responses. Of these photoreceptors, phytochrome B (phyB), which is sensitive to …

Temperature is a major factor governing the distribution and seasonal behaviour of plants.
Being sessile, plants are highly responsive to small differences in temperature and adjust …

Sun-loving plants have the ability to detect and avoid shading through sensing of both blue
and red light wavelengths. Higher plant cryptochromes (CRYs) control how plants modulate …

Light drives plant growth and development, so its control is increasingly used as an
environment-friendly tool to manage horticultural crops. However, this implies a …
