Plants undergo a major physiological change as they transition from vegetative growth to
reproductive development. This transition is a result of responses to various endogenous …

Cryptochromes are flavoprotein photoreceptors first identified in Arabidopsis thaliana, where
they play key roles in growth and development. Subsequently identified in prokaryotes …

Sun-loving plants have the ability to detect and avoid shading through sensing of both blue
and red light wavelengths. Higher plant cryptochromes (CRYs) control how plants modulate …

The earth rotates on its axis every 24 h, with the result that any position on the earth's
surface alternately faces toward or away from the sun—day and night. That the metabolism …

▪ 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 …

Cryptochromes are photolyase-like blue light receptors originally discovered in Arabidopsis
but later found in other plants, microbes, and animals. Arabidopsis has two cryptochromes …

The light environment is a key factor that governs a multitude of developmental processes
during the entire life cycle of plants. An important and increasing part of the incident sunlight …

Cryptochromes are photosensory receptors mediating light regulation of growth and
development in plants. Since the isolation of the Arabidopsis CRY1 gene in 1993 …

Phytochromes confer the photoperiodic control of flowering in rice (Oryza sativa), a short-day
plant. To better understand the molecular mechanisms of day-length recognition, we …
