The Healing Power of Light
Blog, Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: News and ViewsLight is life, especially for plants. It fuels photosynthesis and, when perceived by photoreceptors, directs important developmental programs, including photomorphogenesis and shade avoidance. Red and blue light wavelengths activate phytochrome (phy) and cryptochrome (cry) photoreceptors, respectively,…
An Improved Tool for Mapping the Membrane-Associated Protein Interactome
Blog, Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: News and ViewsProtein-protein interactions mediate fundamental biological processes. Yeast two-hybrid assays can be used to detect protein-protein interactions in a fast and large-scale manner. However, in traditional yeast-two hybrid assays, the prey and bait proteins must be located in the nucleus to activate reporter…
