TL;DR: The identification of genome-wide PIF5-binding sites during shade avoidance revealed that this bHLH transcription factor regulates the expression of a subset of previously identified SAS genes, and this study suggests that PIF4 and Pif5 regulate elongation growth by controlling directly the expression for auxin biosynthesis and auxin signaling components.

TL;DR: It is shown that cotyledon-derived auxin is both necessary and sufficient to initiate hypocotyl growth, but also provided evidence for the functional importance of the local PIF-induced response, and a growth promotion gene expression signature is uncovered.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the evolutionary conservation of not only the function but also photoregulatory mechanism of PheCRY1 in this monocot forestry species.

TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the characteristics and function on dormancy regulation of a blue light recpetor cryptochrome in Marchantia polymorpha (MpCRY), and found that the unique MpCRY protein undergoes both blue light-promoted interaction with itself (selfinteraction) and blue lightdependent phosphorylation.
