Plants have developed sophisticated systems to monitor and rapidly acclimate to environmental fluctuations. Light is an essential source of environmental information throughout the plant’s life cycle. The model plant ...

Phytochromes are the best characterized and most frequently studied plant photoreceptors. A plethora of studies have revealed important roles for phytochromes in plant development, and more recently, evidence indicates ...

Phototropism is an asymmetric growth response enabling plants to optimally position their organs. In flowering plants, the phototropin (phot) blue light receptors are essential to detect light gradients. In etiolated ...

The dynamic light environment of vegetation canopies is perceived by phytochromes, cryptochromes, phototropins, and UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8). These receptors control avoidance responses to preclude exposure to limiting ...

It is well-documented that phytochromes can control plant growth and development from germination to flowering. Additionally, these photoreceptors have been shown to modulate both biotic and abiotic stress. This has led ...

Phytochromes, which absorb red (R)/far red (FR) light, are the most characterized photoreceptors in plants and have been shown to mediate a wide range of molecular and biochemical responses. These include responses to ...

Seed germination of Raphanus sativus is inhibited by light only under low water potential of the medium. Curves of fluence response to white, red and far-red lights demonstrated that the inhibition of seed germination is ...
