Single GAF Domain Phytochrome Exhibits a pH-Dependent Shunt on the Millisecond Timescale. [PDF]
ChemphyschemDuring their light‐induced photocycle, phytochromes can engage in a thermal reversion back to the initially excited state, denoted as a shunt. This study investigates a pH‐dependent shunt transition in the Pfr state of the All2699g1 phytochrome from Nostoc punctiforme using UV/Vis laser flash photolysis and kinetic modeling. The findings suggest a keto‐

Physiological and Genetic Bases of the Circadian Clock in Plants and Their Relationship with Herbicides Efficacy [PDF]
Planta Daninha, 2016 In order to adapt to daily environmental changes, especially in relation to light availability, many organisms, such as plants, developed a vital mechanism that controls time-dependent biological events: the circadian clock.

Photobiotechnology for abiotic stress resilient crops: Recent advances and prospects
Heliyon, 2023 Massive crop failures worldwide are caused by abiotic stress. In plants, adverse environmental conditions cause extensive damage to the overall physiology and agronomic yield at various levels.

BMC Bioinformatics, 2006 Background Phytochromes are photoreceptors, discovered in plants, that control a wide variety of developmental processes. They have also been found in bacteria and fungi, but for many species their biological role remains obscure.

An Anatomy of Fungal Eye: Fungal Photoreceptors and Signalling Mechanisms
Journal of Fungi, 2023 Organisms have developed different features to capture or sense sunlight. Vertebrates have evolved specialized organs (eyes) which contain a variety of photosensor cells that help them to see the light to aid orientation.

Phytochrome Control of Another Phytochrome-mediated Process [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1972 The phytochrome-mediated attachment of root tips of mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) and barley (Hordeum vulgare) to glass is affected by the prior exposure of hydrated seeds or seedlings to red or far red radiation. Prior irradiation of seeds or seedlings of mung bean with red light promotes attachment, while far red light promotes detachment of root tips.
