Tick tock: TIME FOR COFFEE regulates far-red light inhibited hypocotyl growth
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellWang et al. explore how the circadian clock regulates phytochrome A abundance and activity to mediate far-red light inhibited hypocotyl growth.
Background: To enhance plant adaptability to natural conditions, the circadian clock is synchronized and entrained by light via photoreceptors. Intriguingly,…
NF-YCs mediate plant growth during the dark-to-light transition
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellZhang et al. uncover the roles of NF-YC transcription factors in repressing brassinosteroid biosynthesis and signaling to mediate photomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis.
Background: Seedlings, which germinate in the soil, generally undergo rapid hypocotyl elongation to seek light for growth and development.…
