Primary Processes During the Light‐signal Transduction of Phototropin [PDF]

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, 2007
AbstractPhototropin is a blue‐light photoreceptor in plants that mediates phototropism, chloroplast relocation, stomata opening and leaf expansion. Phototropin molecule has two photoreceptive domains named LOV1 (light–oxygen–voltage) and LOV2 in the N‐terminus and a serine/threonine kinase domain in the C‐terminus, and acts as a blue light‐regulated ...

Blue Light Receptors and Signal Transduction [PDF]

open access: yesThe Plant Cell, 2002
A plant blue light response was documented as early as 1881 by Darwin when he discovered what is now known as the blue light–induced phototropic response ([Darwin, 1881][1]). However, blue light receptors mediating phototropism and other photoresponses in plants have remained elusive ...

How and why do roots sense light under the soil surface?

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Light can penetrate several centimetres below the soil surface. Growth, development and behaviour of plant roots are markedly affected by light despite their underground lifestyle.

Light Signal Transduction in Higher Plants

open access: yesAnnual Review of Genetics, 2004
▪ Abstract  Plants utilize several families of photoreceptors to fine-tune growth and development over a large range of environmental conditions. The UV-A/blue light sensing phototropins mediate several light responses enabling optimization of photosynthetic yields.

FMO1 Is Involved in Excess Light Stress-Induced Signal Transduction and Cell Death Signaling

open access: yesCells, 2020
Because of their sessile nature, plants evolved integrated defense and acclimation mechanisms to simultaneously cope with adverse biotic and abiotic conditions.

Light Detection and Signal Transduction in the BLUF Photoreceptors [PDF]

open access: yesPlant and Cell Physiology, 2012
BLUF (sensor of blue light using FAD) domain-containing proteins are one of three types of flavin-binding, blue-light-sensing proteins found in many bacteria and some algae. The other types of blue-light-sensing proteins are the cryptochromes and the light, oxygen, voltage (LOV) domain-containing proteins.

Dissecting long-term adjustments of photoprotective and photo-oxidative stress acclimation occurring in dynamic light environments

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Changes in light intensity directly affect the performance of the photosynthetic apparatus. Light energy absorbed in excess of cells’ needs leads to production of reactive oxygen species and photo-oxidative damage.

regO: a novel locus in the regulation of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis in Rhodospirillum rubrum

open access: yesAnnals of Microbiology, 2023
Purpose A new locus, regO, involved in the regulation of photosynthesis gene expression in response to oxygen and light, has been studied in Rhodosprillum rubrum ATCC1117 (Rsp. rubrum) for identification of its function.

Comparative RNA-Seq analysis on the regulation of cucumber sex differentiation under different ratios of blue and red light

open access: yesBotanical Studies, 2018
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a typical monoecism vegetable with individual male and female flowers, which has been used as a plant model for sex determination.
