Chloroplasts are best known for their role in photosynthesis, but they also allow nitrogen and
sulphur assimilation, amino acid, fatty acid, nucleotide and hormone synthesis. How …

The B-box (BBX) proteins are a class of zinc-finger transcription factors containing a B-box
domain with one or two B-box motifs, and sometimes also feature a CCT (CONSTANS, CO …

In Arabidopsis thaliana, brassinosteroid (BR) signaling and stomatal development are
connected through the SHAGGY/GSK3-like kinase BR INSENSITIVE2 (BIN2). BIN2 is a key …

Plant growth is coordinately regulated by environmental and hormonal signals.
Brassinosteroid (BR) plays essential roles in growth regulation by light and temperature, but …

COP1 and DET1 are among the first repressors of photomorphogenesis to be identified,
more than 20 years ago. Discovery of these repressors as conserved regulators of the …

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 …

GATA factors are evolutionarily conserved transcription factors that are found in animals,
fungi, and plants. Compared to that of animals, the size of the plant GATA family is …

Plants must coordinate the regulation of biochemistry and anatomy to optimize
photosynthesis and water-use efficiency. The formation of stomata, epidermal pores that …
