Phytochromes and light signal perception by plants—an emerging synthesis
TL;DR: An interim synthesis of the phytochromes, a small family of diverse photochromic protein photoreceptors whose origins have been traced to the photosynthetic prokaryotes, is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytochrome photosensory signalling networks
Peter H. Quail,Peter H. Quail +1 more
TL;DR: The phytochrome molecule must relay this information to nuclear genes that are poised to respond by directing appropriate adjustments in growth and development, through the intricate intracellular signalling networks through which this sensory information is transduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light: an indicator of time and place
TL;DR: The complexities of phy tochrome response pathways are described and some of the recent accomplishments in elucidating the mechanisms by which phytochromes regulate so many downstream responses are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Cyanobacterial Phytochrome Two-Component Light Sensory System
TL;DR: The biliprotein phytochrome regulates plant growth and developmental responses to the ambient light environment through an unknown mechanism and is an ancient molecule that evolved from a more compact light sensor in cyanobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light control of plant development
TL;DR: Molecular genetic studies using the model plant Arabidopsis have led to substantial progress in dissecting the signal transduction network, and important gains have been made in determining the function of the photoreceptors, the terminal response pathways, and the intervening signalTransduction components.

Phytochromes: photosensory perception and signal transduction
TL;DR: The phytochrome family of photoreceptors monitors the light environment and dictates patterns of gene expression that enable the plant to optimize growth and development in accordance with prevailing conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection, assay, and preliminary purification of the pigment controlling photoresponsive development of plants.
TL;DR: The presence of the photoreversible pigment in intact tissue has been demonstrated with a recording, single-beam spectrophotometer and the system response is sufficiently reproducible that valid difference spectra can be obtained by subtracting one recorded curve from another.
Journal ArticleDOI
Similarity of a chromatic adaptation sensor to phytochrome and ethylene receptors
TL;DR: RcaE encodes a deduced protein in which the amino-terminal region resembles the chromophore attachment domain of phytochrome photoreceptors and regions of plant ethylene receptors; the carboxyl- terminal half is similar to the histidine kinase domain of two-component sensor kinases.
