Green means go: Green light promotes hypocotyl elongation via BRs
Plant Science Research WeeklyGenerally, light inhibits hypocotyl elongation. Like red and blue light, green light was previously reported to inhibit hypocotyl elongation in several plants. Here, Hao et al. discovered that the inhibition of hypocotyl growth by green light is due to wavelength impurities in the green lights used.…
Winter is coming: It’s time to “CRY”
The Plant Cell: In a NutshellLi et al. reveal how the cryptochrome CRY2 regulates freezing tolerance in Arabidopsis. https://doi.org/10.1093/plcell/koab215
