A little starch science for your Friday? Shi et al. have you covered with their new exploration of the modulation of #starch synthesis in #Arabidopsis via #phytochrome B-mediated light signal transduction. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jipb.13630 Wiley Plant Science #JIPB #plantscience #botany
Plants are flowering earlier than ever – here’s how they sense the seasons

And are flowering earlier as a result of the climate crisis.

No time for chit-chat!
Diao et al. are here to tell you all about the advantages of #crosstalk during the #evolution of the BZR1–ARF6–PIF4 (BAP) module.🔓⬇️

Phytochrome-interacting factor PIF3 integrates phytochrome B and UV-B signaling pathways to regulate gibberellin- and auxin-dependent growth in cucumber hypocotyls

Cucumber phytochrome-interacting factor PIF3 physically interacts with both the photoreceptors phytochrome B and UV-B resistance 8, thereby connecting the red/f

'Local #phytochrome signalling limits root growth in #light by repressing #auxin biosynthesis'

Local phytochrome signalling limits root growth in light by repressing auxin biosynthesis

In widely used in vitroplant growth systems, illumination of roots leads to suboptimal auxin levels in root apical meristem, limiting root growth in response to

Study proves red light promotes growth of Haematococcus pluvialis

Prof. Huang Qing's group from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has made progress on red-light-promoted photoautotrophic growth of Haematococcus pluvialis (H. pluvialis) and the related carbon fixation mechanism. The study was published in Aquaculture.

New video by @[email protected] on CIBSS member Andreas Hiltbrunner and his work on #phytochrome and #phototropism. And yes, he does work with #arabidopsis and not with sunflowers, but they're pretty, and it's summer.
