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.

Light and temperature receptors and their convergence in plants
Biologia Plantarum, 2020 Light and temperature are two essential environmental cues for plants, helping to optimize plant body architecture and physiology. To sense a broad spectrum of sun radiation spanning from UV-B to far-red wavelength, plants are equipped with a ...

The primary structural photoresponse of phytochrome proteins captured by a femtosecond X-ray laser
eLife, 2020 Phytochrome proteins control the growth, reproduction, and photosynthesis of plants, fungi, and bacteria. Light is detected by a bilin cofactor, but it remains elusive how this leads to activation of the protein through structural changes.
