The perception of light signals by the phytochrome family of photoreceptors has a crucial
influence on almost all aspects of growth and development throughout a plant's life cycle …

Plants are subjected to a plethora of environmental cues that cause extreme losses to crop
productivity. Due to fluctuating environmental conditions, plants encounter difficulties in …

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation is an energy-expensive process, and the light available to plants
has been proposed to be a primary influencer. We demonstrate that the light-induced …

Light-emitting diode (LED) technology has rapidly advanced the past years and it is
nowadays irrevocably linked with controlled-environment agriculture (CEA). We provide …

Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs or polyploidy) are prevalent in plants, and some
WGDs occurred during the timing of severe global environmental changes. It has been …

Abstract ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5), a member of the bZIP transcription factor
family, inhibits hypocotyl growth and lateral root development, and promotes pigment …

In plants, the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway (CBP) is essential for the production of
photosynthetic and protective pigments, plant hormones, and visual/olfactory attractants for …

Cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) is a blue light receptor that mediates primarily blue-light inhibition of
hypocotyl elongation. Very little is known of the mechanisms by which CRY1 affects growth …

Chloroplasts are the organelles that define plants, and they are responsible for
photosynthesis as well as numerous other functions. They are the ancestral members of a …

Phytochrome-interacting factors (PIFs) are members of the Arabidopsis thaliana basic helix-
loop-helix family of transcriptional regulators that interact specifically with the active Pfr …
