Polarization‐resolved femtosecond Vis/IR spectroscopy tailored for resolving weak signals in biological samples using minimal sample volume

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 1847-1856, October 2026.
Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐

Vibrational Spectroscopy of Phytochromes

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
Phytochromes are biological photoswitches that translate light into physiological functions. Spectroscopic techniques are essential tools for molecular research into these photoreceptors. This review is directed at summarizing how resonance Raman and IR spectroscopy contributed to an understanding of the structure, dynamics, and reaction mechanism of ...

Phytochrome A Protects Tomato Plants From Injuries Induced by Continuous Light

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Plants perceive and transduce information about light quantity, quality, direction and photoperiod via several photoreceptors and use it to adjust their growth and development.

A light‐triggered Time‐Resolved X‐ray Solution Scattering (TR‐XSS) workflow with application to protein conformational dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 1870-1883, October 2026.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering captures how proteins change shape in real time under near‐native conditions. This article presents a practical workflow for light‐triggered TR‐XSS experiments, from data collection to structural refinement. Using a calcium‐transporting membrane protein as an example, the approach can be broadly applied to study ...

The Phytochrome B/Phytochrome C Heterodimer Is Necessary for Phytochrome C-Mediated Responses in Rice Seedlings

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
PhyC levels have been observed to be markedly lower in phyB mutants than in Arabidopsis or rice wild type etiolated seedlings, but the mechanism of this phenomenon has not been fully elucidated.In the present study, we investigated the mechanism by which phyB affects the protein concentration and photo-sensing abilities of phyC and demonstrated that ...

Refinement of amino‐acid conformation vs. difference density maps in time‐resolved serial femtosecond crystallography data analysis

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 1899-1910, October 2026.
The dFoCC pipeline starts with observed DED and resting‐state coordinates, which are then used to generate a library of triggered states. Correlation analysis of the calculated DED features of each candidate vs observed DED permits quantitative evaluation of candidate structural quality.

Mutual antagonism between auxin and diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 regulates high‐temperature‐induced hypocotyl elongation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 222-240, October 2026.
Proposed model for auxin–DGAT2 crosstalk regulating high‐temperature‐induced hypocotyl elongation. Summary Cell elongation is a fundamental process in plant growth and development, and it is significantly affected by temperature changes. While the signaling mechanisms driving high‐temperature‐induced cell elongation have been extensively studied, the ...

Establishment of far-red high irradiance responses in wheat through transgenic expression of an oat phytochrome A gene

open access: yes, 2001
A transgenic wheat line over-expressing an oat phytochrome A gene under the control of the constitutive maize ubiquitin promoter was generated using a biolistic particle delivery system from immature wheat embryos.

The role of the seed coat in the light sensivity in Raphanus sativus L. cv. redondo gigante seeds O papel do tegumento na sensibilidade à luz em sementes de Raphanus sativus L. cv. redondo gigante

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 1997
The role of the seed coat in the light sensitivity of seeds of Raphanus sativus L. cv. redondo gigante was analysed by germination tests of intact and naked seeds. Far-red light caused high inhibition of seed germination, while under white and red lights

Effects of Light and Wounding on Jasmonates in Rice phyAphyC Mutants

open access: yesPlants, 2014
Jasmonates (JA) are lipid-derived plant hormones. They have been shown to be important regulators of photomorphogenesis, a developmental program in plants, which is activated by light through different red and blue light sensitive photoreceptors. In rice,
