Background Agricultural production in controlled indoor farming offers a reliable alternative
to food and nutrition supply for densely populated cities and contributes to addressing the …

Phytochemicals in vegetables are important for human health, and their biosynthesis,
metabolism and accumulation are affected by environmental factors. Light condition (light …

Although many organisms capture or respond to sunlight, few enzymes are known to be
driven by light. Among these are DNA photolyases and the photosynthetic reaction centers …

The discovery of light-inducible protein–protein interactions has allowed for the spatial and
temporal control of a variety of biological processes. To be effective, a photodimerizer …

Electron microscopy (EM) achieves the highest spatial resolution in protein localization, but
specific protein EM labeling has lacked generally applicable genetically encoded tags for in …

Plants depend on the surrounding light environment to direct their growth. Blue light (300–
500 nm) in particular acts to promote a wide variety of photomorphogenic responses …

Phototropins are blue-light receptors controlling a range of responses that serve to optimize
the photosynthetic efficiency of plants. These include phototropism, light-induced stomatal …

Signaling photoreceptors use the information contained in the absorption of a photon to
modulate biological activity in plants and a wide range of organisms. The fundamental—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 …

Phototropins are light-activated kinases important for plant responses to blue light. Light
initiates signaling in these proteins by generating a covalent protein–flavin mononucleotide …
