The geomagnetic field (GMF) is a natural component of our environment. Plants, which are
known to sense different wavelengths of light, respond to gravity, react to touch 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 …

Cryptochromes (CRYs) are photoreceptors that mediate light regulation of the circadian
clock in plants and animals. Here we show that CRYs mediate blue-light regulation of N6 …

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 …

Bidirectional root–shoot signalling is probably key in orchestrating stress responses and
ensuring plant survival. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana responses to microbial root …

Cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) is a blue light receptor that mediates primarily blue-light inhibition of
hypocotyl elongation. Very little is known of the mechanisms by which CRY1 affects growth …

The developmental plasticity of plants relies on the remarkable ability of the meristems to
integrate nutrient and energy availability with environmental signals. Meristems in root and …

Many plants flower in response to seasonal fluctuations in day length. The CONSTANS (CO)
gene of Arabidopsis promotes flowering in long days. Flowering is induced when CO …

In response to elevated ambient temperature Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings display a
thermomorphogenic response that includes elongation of hypocotyls and petioles …

Multiple environmental and endogenous inputs regulate when plants flower. The molecular
genetic dissection of flowering time control in Arabidopsis has identified an integrated …
