HY5 and TZP cooperate to help plants respond to far-red light
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellLi et al. discover that HY5 and TZP, two factors helping plants respond to far-red light, mutually upregulate each other by distinct mechanisms in transmitting the far-red light signal. The Plant Cell (2021) https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koab254
