Light-dependent magnetoreception in birds : increasing intensity of monochromatic light changes the nature of the response [PDF]
, 2007 Background The Radical Pair model proposes that magnetoreception is a light-dependent process. Under low monochromatic light from the short-wavelength part of the visual spectrum, migratory birds show orientation in their migratory direction.

EVOLUTION OF THE CIRCADIAN CLOCK IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENT: LESSONS FROM CAVEFISH. [PDF]
, 2010 Evolution has been strongly influenced by the daily cycles of temperature and light imposed by the rotation of the Earth. Fascinating demonstrations of this are seen in extreme environments such as caves where some animals have remained completely ...

Shade Promotes Phototropism through Phytochrome B-Controlled Auxin Production. [PDF]
, 2016 Phototropism is an asymmetric growth response enabling plants to optimally position their organs. In flowering plants, the phototropin (phot) blue light receptors are essential to detect light gradients.

Beyond red/far‐red sensing: phytochrome perception of the marine light field by microalgae
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Phytochromes (PHYs) are a major group of photoreceptors, described as red and far‐red light sensors in land plants. Recent genomic and metagenomic explorations have revealed the presence of PHYs also in various eukaryotic microalgae originating from distinct endosymbiotic events.

Interactions of drosophila cryptochrome
Photochemistry and PhotobiologyAbstractIn this study, we investigate the intricate regulatory mechanisms underlying the circadian clock in Drosophila, focusing on the light‐induced conformational changes in the cryptochrome (DmCry). Upon light exposure, DmCry undergoes conformational changes that prompt its binding to Timeless and Jetlag proteins, initiating a cascade crucial for ...

Structure of full-length Drosophila cryptochrome [PDF]
Nature, 2011 The cryptochrome/photolyase (CRY/PL) family of photoreceptors mediates adaptive responses to ultraviolet and blue light exposure in all kingdoms of life. Whereas PLs function predominantly in DNA repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and 6-4 photolesions caused by ultraviolet radiation, CRYs transduce signals important for growth, development,

Cryptochrome-mediated blue-light signal contributes to carotenoids biosynthesis in microalgae
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Microalgae are considered as ideal cell factories for producing natural carotenoids which display favorable biological activities. As the most important abiotic factor, light not only provides energy for photosynthetic metabolism, but also regulates ...

Shadow on the Plant: A Strategy to Exit. [PDF]
, 2016 The light spectrum perceived by plants is affected by crowding, which results in the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS). Findings presented by Pedmale et al.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT High temperatures significantly accelerate the timing of floral transition, namely, bolting and flowering, in lettuce, which results in severe loss of marketable yield. Thus, understanding the genetic regulation of floral transition is of great interest to plant biologists and lettuce breeders.
