Light plays an important role in plants' growth and development throughout their life cycle.
Plants alter their morphological features in response to light cues of varying intensity and …

The phytochrome family of photoreceptors monitors the light environment and dictates
patterns of gene expression that enable the plant to optimize growth and development in …

Although Ca 2+ has long been recognized as an obligatory intermediate in visual
transduction, its role in plant phototransduction remains elusive. Here, we report a Ca 2+ …

Plant developmental processes are controlled by both endogenous programs and
environmental stimuli. As a photomorphogenetic mutant, hy5 of Arabidopsis has been …

The cpd mutation localized by T-DNA tagging on Arabidopsis chromosome 5-14.3 inhibits
cell elongation controlled by the ecdysone-like brassinosteroid hormone brassinolide. The …

The mechanisms by which higher plants recognize and respond to sugars are largely
unknown. Here, we present evidence that the first enzyme in the hexose assimilation …

In most plants, sucrose is the major transported carbon source. Carbon source availability in
the form of sucrose is likely to be a major determinant of cell division, and mechanisms must …

This review focuses on light regulation of transcription, from light perception to changes in
transcription, with an emphasis on regulatory elements in the promoters of light-regulated …

The Arabidopsis protein COP1, encoded by the constitutive photomorphogenic locus 1, is an
essential regulatory molecule that plays a role in the repression of photomorphogenic …

The phototropic response is an important component of seedling establishment in higher
plants because it orients the young seedlings for maximal photosynthetic light capture …
