The Ratio of Red to Far-Red Light Affects Growth, Pigment Content, and Photosynthetic Rates in Cress Plants
AbstractFar-red light is electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths of 700–800 nm. Light of such wavelengths does not fall into the range of...

Hormones and Light-Regulated Seedling Development
Light is one of the most important environmental signals, which has a profound impact on plant growth and development. Once a seed germinates, the...

Light signaling regulates root-knot nematode infection and development via HY5-SWEET signaling
BackgroundMeloidogyne incognita is one of the most important plant-parasitic nematodes and causes tremendous losses to the agricultural economy....

Erwin Bünning and Wolfgang Engelmann: establishing the involvement of the circadian clock in photoperiodism
In1936, Erwin Bünning published his groundbreaking work that the endogenous clock is used to measure day length for initiating photoperiodic...

Isolation of Phytochrome B Photobodies
Phytochrome B (phyB), a plant photoreceptor, forms a membraneless organelle known as a photobody. Here, we present a protocol for the isolation of...

Effect of phyB and phyC loss-of-function mutations on the wheat transcriptome under short and long day photoperiods
BackgroundPhotoperiod signals provide important cues by which plants regulate their growth and development in response to predictable seasonal...

Light regulation of the biosynthesis of phenolics, terpenoids, and alkaloids in plants
Biosynthesis of specialized metabolites (SM), including phenolics, terpenoids, and alkaloids, is stimulated by many environmental factors including...

Light-Dependent High Ambient Temperature-Induced Senescence Assay Using Whole Seedlings
High ambient temperature affects various plant developmental and physiological processes, including senescence. Here, we present a protocol for...

Variational Factors and Regulation Processes of Secondary Metabolites
Secondary metabolites are induced and vary in response to changes in external environmental conditions or internal states of plants. This results in...

Molecular Bases of Signaling Processes Regulated by Cryptochrome Sensory Photoreceptors in Plants
AbstractThe blue-light sensors, cryptochromes, compose the extensive class of flavoprotein photoreceptors, regulating signaling processes in plants...

Physiological and biochemical alterations driven by light quality during germination and initial growth of the mandacaru cactus (Cereus jamacaru DC.)
Germination of many cacti across the Americas is light-dependent, but less has been explored regarding biochemical and morphophysiological...

Light signaling as cellular integrator of multiple environmental cues in plants
Plants being sessile need to rapidly adapt to the constantly changing environment through modifications in their internal clock, metabolism, and gene...

The role of histidine kinase signalling in response to salt stress
Salt stress is a global environmental problem, which affects various biochemical and physiological processes in plants and significantly decreases...

Light signaling-mediated growth plasticity in Arabidopsis grown under high-temperature conditions
Growing concern around global warming has led to an increase in research focused on plant responses to increased temperature. In this review, we...

Flowering
About 90% of the ≈350,000 known plant species are the flowering plants. Flowering is the most enigmatic phase in the life of a plant. Since plants...

Bacteriophytochromes from Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 modulate the early stages of plant colonization during bacterial speck disease
Living organisms have evolved the ability to perceive and respond to light of different wavelengths within the visible spectrum by the generation of...

Phytochrome B triggers light-dependent chromatin remodelling through the PRC2-associated PHD finger protein VIL1
To compensate for a sessile nature, plants have developed sophisticated mechanisms to sense varying environmental conditions. Phytochromes (phys) are...

Effect of Phytochrome Deficit on Activity of Ascorbate Peroxidase and Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase and Expression of Genes APX1, tAPX, sAPX, and PAL in the Leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana Plants Exposed to UV-A and Red Light
AbstractEffect of UV-A radiation (10 W/m 2 , 2 h) and modifying effect of brief exposure to red light (RL) (1.8 W/m 2 , 20 min) on photochemical...

Molecular Regulation of Plant Responses to Shade
In sun-loving plants, detection of the proximity of nearby competitors triggers a set of responses known as the shade-avoidance syndrome (SAS). These...
