Phytochrome activates the plastid-encoded RNA polymerase for chloroplast biogenesis via nucleus-to-plastid signaling [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Light initiates chloroplast biogenesis by controlling gene expression in plastids. Here Yoo et al. show that nuclear phytochrome signaling triggers plastid gene expression via a novel dual-localized protein necessary for nuclear phytochrome signaling and

NCP activates chloroplast transcription by controlling phytochrome-dependent dual nuclear and plastidial switches [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Phytochrome signaling in the nucleus can activate expression of photosynthesis-associated genes in plastids. Here Yang et al. show that NCP is a dual-targeted protein that promotes phytochrome B localization to photobodies in the nucleus while ...

Phytochromes and Phytochrome Interacting Factors [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2017
The basic helix-loop-helix domain-containing transcription factors that interact physically with the red and far-red light photoreceptors, phytochromes, are called PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTORS (PIFs). In the last two decades, the phytochrome-PIF signaling module has been shown to be conserved from Physcomitrella patens to higher plants.

Genome-wide analyses of light-regulated genes in Aspergillus nidulans reveal a complex interplay between different photoreceptors and novel photoreceptor functions.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2021
Fungi sense light of different wavelengths using blue-, green-, and red-light photoreceptors. Blue light sensing requires the "white-collar" proteins with flavin as chromophore, and red light is sensed through phytochrome.

Phytochrome Radioimmunoassay [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1979
A phytochrome radioimmunoassay with a detection limit of about 2 nanograms has been developed. The radioimmunoassay does not suffer from the potential drawbacks of the commonly used spectral assay and requires less than 1 microliter of crude extract from dark-grown plants for quantitation of phytochrome.

Bottom-up Assembly of the Phytochrome Network. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2016
Plants have developed sophisticated systems to monitor and rapidly acclimate to environmental fluctuations. Light is an essential source of environmental information throughout the plant's life cycle.

Improving the Predictive Value of Phytochrome Photoequilibrium: Consideration of Spectral Distortion Within a Leaf

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The ratio of active phytochrome (Pfr) to total phytochrome (Pr + Pfr), called phytochrome photo-equilibrium (PPE; also called phytochrome photostationary state, PSS) has been used to explain shade avoidance responses in both natural and controlled ...

Phytochrome B photobodies are comprised of phytochrome B and its primary and secondary interacting proteins

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Phytochrome is a photoreceptor forming a membraneless organelle called a photobody. The authors isolated the photobody and found that the photobody is made of not only phytochrome but also its primary and secondary interacting proteins.

The protein phosphatase 7 regulates phytochrome signaling in Arabidopsis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
The psi2 mutant of Arabidopsis displays amplification of the responses controlled by the red/far red light photoreceptors phytochrome A (phyA) and phytochrome B (phyB) but no apparent defect in blue light perception.

Infrared spectroscopy of phytochrome and model pigments [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Fourier-transform infrared difference spectra between the red-absorbing and far-red-absorbing forms of oat phytochrome have been measured in H2O and 2H2O. The difference spectra are compared with infrared spectra of model compounds, i.e. the (5Z,10Z,15Z)-
