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 …

Named for the characteristic basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) region in their protein structure,
bHLH proteins are a widespread transcription factor class in eukaryotes. bHLHs …

Sun-loving plants trigger the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) to compete against their
neighbors for sunlight. Phytochromes are plant red (R) and far-red (FR) light photoreceptors …

Major strides have been made over the past decade in elucidating the mechanisms that
mediate shade-avoidance responses. The canonical PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING …

Plants growing at high densities interact via a multitude of pathways. Here, we provide an
overview of mechanisms and functional consequences of plant architectural responses …

Shade tolerance is an ecological concept used in a wide range of disciplines, from plant
physiology to landscaping or gardening. It refers to the strategy of some plants to persist and …

Light absorption by plants changes the composition of light inside vegetation. Blue (B) and
red (R) light are used for photosynthesis whereas far-red (FR) and green light are reflected …

Basic helix-loop-helices (bHLHs) are present in all eukaryotes and form one of the largest
families of transcription factors (TFs) found in plants. bHLHs function as transcriptional …

The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family is one of the largest families of transcription factors
(TFs) in plants and plays crucial roles in regulating growth, development and abiotic stress …

The balance between cell proliferation and differentiation in the cambium defines the
formation of plant vascular tissues. As cambium cells proliferate, subsets of daughter cells …
