Plants use photoreceptor proteins to detect the proximity of other plants and to activate
adaptive responses. Of these photoreceptors, phytochrome B (phyB), which is sensitive to …

Plant hormones are small molecules that regulate plant growth and development, as well as
responses to changing environmental conditions. By modifying the production, distribution …

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 …

Light drives plant growth and development, so its control is increasingly used as an
environment-friendly tool to manage horticultural crops. However, this implies a …

Ultra-violet (UV) and blue radiations are perceived by plants through several
photoreceptors. They regulate a large range of processes throughout plant life. Along with …

Abstract Ultraviolet-A radiation (UV-A: 315–400 nm) is a component of solar radiation that
exerts a wide range of physiological responses in plants. Currently, field attenuation …

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 …

The dynamic light environment of vegetation canopies is perceived by phytochromes,
cryptochromes, phototropins, and UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8). These receptors …

Plants initiate senescence to shed photosynthetically inefficient leaves. Light deprivation
induces leaf senescence, which involves massive transcriptional reprogramming to …

Precise allocation of limited resources between growth and defense is critical for plant
survival. In shade-intolerant species, perception of competition signals by informational …
