Light signaling controls chloroplast pyruvate metabolism through the STF1/2–PKP1 module in soybean

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In soybean, light‐responsive proteins switch on GmPKP1, which boosts chloroplast pyruvate production. This increases pigments, photosynthesis, seed oil, pod number, and yield, revealing a new way that light boosts crop productivity. ABSTRACT Light signaling coordinates plant development with metabolism, but the link between photoreceptors and ...
