Red light represses the photophysiology of the scleractinian coral Stylophora pistillata. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Light spectrum plays a key role in the biology of symbiotic corals, with blue light resulting in higher coral growth, zooxanthellae density, chlorophyll a content and photosynthesis rates as compared to red light.

A CRY-BIC negative-feedback circuitry regulating blue light sensitivity of Arabidopsis. [PDF]
, 2017 Cryptochromes are blue light receptors that regulate various light responses in plants. Arabidopsis cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) and cryptochrome 2 (CRY2) mediate blue light inhibition of hypocotyl elongation and long-day (LD) promotion of floral initiation. It

Phytochrome A mediates blue-light enhancement of second-positive phototropism in Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 2016 Hypocotyl phototropism of etiolated Arabidopsis seedlings is primarily mediated by the blue-light receptor kinase phototropin 1 (phot1). Phot1-mediated curvature to continuous unilateral blue light irradiation (0.5 µmol m-2 s-1) is enhanced by overhead ...

Blue light regenerates functional visual pigments in mammals through a retinyl-phospholipid intermediate. [PDF]
, 2017 The light absorbing chromophore in opsin visual pigments is the protonated Schiff base of 11-cis-retinaldehyde (11cRAL). Absorption of a photon isomerizes 11cRAL to all-trans-retinaldehyde (atRAL), briefly activating the pigment before it dissociates ...

Effect of selected luminescent layers on CCT, CRI, and response times [PDF]
, 2019 Phosphors have been used as wavelength converters in illumination for many years. When it is excited with blue light, the frequently used yttrium aluminium garnet doped with cerium (YAG:Ce) phosphor converts a part of blue light to a wideband yellow ...

A Search for Candidate Light Echoes: Photometry of Supernova Environments [PDF]
, 1999 Supernova (SN) light echoes could be a powerful tool for determining distances to galaxies geometrically, Sparks 1994. In this paper we present CCD photometry of the environments of 64 historical supernovae, the first results of a program designed to ...
