Anthocyanins are natural pigments with antioxidant effects that exist in various fruits and
vegetables. The accumulation of anthocyanins is induced by environmental signals and …

Light is a crucial environmental cue not only for photosynthetic energy production but also
for plant growth and development. Plants employ sophisticated methods to detect and …

Plants must constantly adapt to a changing light environment in order to optimize energy
conversion through the process of photosynthesis and to limit photodamage. In addition …

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation is an intrinsic fraction of sunlight that plants perceive through
the UVR8 photoreceptor. UVR8 is a homodimer in its ground state that monomerizes upon …

Highlights•The COP1/SPA E3 ubiquitin ligase is a repressor of photomorphogenesis.•The
COP1/SPA complex targets photomorphogenesis-promoting factors for proteolysis.•Active …

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 …

Increased UV-B radiation on the earth's surface due to depletion of stratospheric ozone layer
is one of the changes of current climate-change pattern. The deleterious effects of UV-B …

Abstract Ultraviolet-B radiation (280–315 nm), perceived by the plant photoreceptor UVR8,
is a key environmental signal that influences plant growth and development and can reduce …

Low doses of UV-B light (280 to 315 nm) elicit photomorphogenic responses in plants that
modify biochemical composition, photosynthetic competence, morphogenesis, and defense …

Abstract UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8) is an ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation
photoreceptor that mediates light responses in plants. How plant UVR8 acts in response to …
