Action Spectrum of Drosophila Cryptochrome [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2007
Cryptochromes are a highly conserved class of UV-A/blue light photoreceptors. In Drosophila, cryptochrome is required for the normal entrainment of circadian rhythms to light dark cycles. The photocycle and molecular mechanism of animal cryptochrome photoreception are presently unknown. Drosophila cryptochrome undergoes light-dependent degradation when

Plant responses to photoperiod [PDF]

, 2009
Photoperiod controls many developmental responses in animals, plants and even fungi. The response to photoperiod has evolved because daylength is a reliable indicator of the time of year, enabling developmental events to be scheduled to coincide with ...

Vertebrate Cryptochromes are Vestigial Flavoproteins [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractAll cryptochromes are currently classified as flavoproteins. In animals their best-described role is as components of the circadian clock. This circadian function is variable, and can be either light-dependent or -independent; the molecular origin of this difference is unknown.

The cryptochromes.

Genome biology, 2005
Cryptochromes are photoreceptors that regulate entrainment by light of the circadian clock in plants and animals. They also act as integral parts of the central circadian oscillator in animal brains and as receptors controlling photomorphogenesis in response to blue or ultraviolet (UV-A) light in plants.

Network balance via CRY signalling controls the Arabidopsis circadian clock over ambient temperatures [PDF]

, 2013
Circadian clocks exhibit ‘temperature compensation', meaning that they show only small changes in period over a broad temperature range. Several clock genes have been implicated in the temperature-dependent control of period in Arabidopsis.

Spooky Birds and Origin of Life: A Quantum Mechanics Description of Bird Migration

Jurnal Pendidikan Fisika Indonesia, 2019
In this work we explain a strange quantum phenomenon in biology that the European Robin uses to navigate. The bird’s brain contains a chemical called cryptochromes which has two of its electrons entangled through collision with photons.

Using Light to Improve Commercial Value [PDF]

, 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 ...

Light and temperature receptors and their convergence in plants

Biologia Plantarum, 2020
Light and temperature are two essential environmental cues for plants, helping to optimize plant body architecture and physiology. To sense a broad spectrum of sun radiation spanning from UV-B to far-red wavelength, plants are equipped with a ...

Multiple roles for UV RESISTANCE LOCUS8 in regulating gene expression and metabolite accumulation in arabidopsis under solar ultraviolet radiation [PDF]

, 2013
Photomorphogenic responses triggered by low fluence rates of ultraviolet B radiation (UV-B; 280–315 nm) are mediated by the UV-B photoreceptor UV RESISTANCE LOCUS8 (UVR8).
