Phytochromes are bilin-binding photosensory receptors which control development over a
broad range of environmental conditions and throughout the whole plant life cycle. Light …

Temperature is a major factor governing the distribution and seasonal behaviour of plants.
Being sessile, plants are highly responsive to small differences in temperature and adjust …

The plant circadian clock coordinates the responses to multiple and often simultaneous
environmental challenges that the sessile plant cannot avoid. These responses must be …

Plants maximize their fitness by adjusting their growth and development in response to
signals such as light and temperature. The circadian clock provides a mechanism for plants …

The circadian clock is a biological timekeeping system that provides organisms with the
ability to adapt to day-night cycles. Timing of the expression of four members of the …

A double-negative feedback loop formed by the morning genes CIRCADIAN CLOCK
ASSOCIATED1 (CCA1)/LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY) and the evening gene …

Leaf senescence can be triggered by multiple abiotic stresses including darkness, nutrient
limitation, salinity, and drought. Recently, heatwaves have been occurring more frequently …

Plants sense the light environment through an ensemble of photoreceptors. Members of the
phytochrome class of light receptors are known to play a critical role in seedling …

Fruits and seeds are the major food source on earth. Both derive from the gynoecium and,
therefore, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms that guide the development of this …

Plants detect changes in day length to induce seasonal patterns of flowering. The
photoperiodic pathway accelerates the flowering of Arabidopsis thaliana under long days …
