Light spectra significantly influence plant metabolism, growth and development. Here, we
review the effects of monochromatic blue, red and green light compared to those of …

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation directly affects plants and microorganisms, but also alters the
species-specific interactions between them. The distinct bands of UV radiation, UV-A, UV-B …

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 …

Phototropins are blue-light receptors controlling a range of responses that serve to optimize
the photosynthetic efficiency of plants. These include phototropism, light-induced stomatal …

Plants depend on the surrounding light environment to direct their growth. Blue light (300–
500 nm) in particular acts to promote a wide variety of photomorphogenic responses …

Signaling photoreceptors use the information contained in the absorption of a photon to
modulate biological activity in plants and a wide range of organisms. The fundamental—and …

Protein-protein interactions are essential for many cellular processes. We have developed a
technology called light-activated dimerization (LAD) to artificially induce protein hetero-and …

Influence of light-emitting diode (LED) light on antioxidant activity of radiated pea seedlings
was first studied using red (625–630nm) and blue (465–470nm) LED lights as light sources …

For single-cell and multicellular systems to survive, they must accurately sense and respond
to their cellular and extracellular environment. Light is a nearly ubiquitous environmental …

Living organisms detect changes in temperature using thermosensory molecules. However,
these molecules and/or their mechanisms for sensing temperature differ among organisms …
