Increasing ambient temperature progressively disassembles Arabidopsis phytochrome B from individual photobodies with distinct thermostabilities

J Hahm, K Kim, Y Qiu, M Chen - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
Warm temperature is postulated to induce plant thermomorphogenesis through a signaling
mechanism similar to shade, as both destabilize the active form of the photoreceptor and …
