Integration of Phytochrome and Cryptochrome Signals Determines Plant Growth during Competition for Light. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Plants in dense vegetation perceive their neighbors primarily through changes in light quality. Initially, the ratio between red (R) and far-red (FR) light decreases due to reflection of FR by plant tissue well before shading occurs.

Conserved structural motifs in PAS, LOV, and CRY proteins regulate circadian rhythms and are therapeutic targets

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 6, Page 910-938, March 2026.
Cryptochrome and PAS/LOV proteins play intricate roles in circadian clocks where they act as both sensors and mediators of protein–protein interactions. Their ubiquitous presence in signaling networks has positioned them as targets for small‐molecule therapeutics. This review provides a structural introduction to these protein families.

MicroRNA-214 Promotes Apoptosis in Canine Hemangiosarcoma by Targeting the COP1-p53 Axis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
MicroRNA-214 regulates both angiogenic function in endothelial cells and apoptosis in various cancers. However, the regulation and function of miR-214 is unclear in canine hemangiosarcoma, which is a spontaneous model of human angiosarcoma.

Epigenetic history of an Arabidopsis trans-silencer locus and a test for relay of trans-silencing activity

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2002
Background Meiotically heritable epimutations affecting transgene expression are not well understood, even and in particular in the plant model species, Arabidopsis thaliana.

TOGR3, a Proteasome β4 Subunit, Orchestrates Sugar Homeostasis to Trade Off Growth and Thermotolerance in Rice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 18, 27 March 2026.
This study identifies a novel thermoregulatory mechanism in rice: TOGR3 partners with 26S proteasome subunits, including TT1, to drive thermoresponsive ubiquitin–proteasome activity, maintaining sugar homeostasis in stomatal regulation to balance growth and stress resistance.

Regulation of UVR8 photoreceptor dimer/monomer photo-equilibrium in Arabidopsis plants grown under photoperiodic conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8) photoreceptor specifically mediates photomorphogenic responses to UV-B. Photoreception induces dissociation of dimeric UVR8 into monomers to initiate responses.

High Level of COP1 Expression is Associated with Poor Prognosis in Primary Gastric Cancer

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biological Sciences, 2012
COP1 (constitutive photomorphogenic 1, also known as RFWD2) is a p53-targeting E3 ubiquitin ligase containing RING-finger, coiled-coil, and WD40-repeat domains.

Light‐Responsive Surface Topographies Modulate Macrophage Immune Responses Through Dynamic Mechanical Cues

open access: yesMacromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 3, March 2026.
This work introduces light‐responsive liquid crystal polymer films that generate dynamic, reversible topographies to modulate macrophage immune responses. By switching surface features on demand, we reveal macrophage plasticity, morphological adaptation, and mechanical memory.

CONSTANS and the evolutionary origin of photoperiodic timing of flowering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A network of promoting and inhibiting pathways that respond to environmental and internal signals controls the flowering transition. The outcome of this regulatory network establishes, for any particular plant, the correct time of the year to flower. The

Using Light to Improve Commercial Value [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The plasticity of plant morphology has evolved to maximize reproductive fitness in response to prevailing environmental conditions. Leaf architecture elaborates to maximize light harvesting, while the transition to flowering can either be accelerated or ...
