Dynamic crystallography reveals early signalling events in ultraviolet photoreceptor UVR8 [PDF]

open access: yesNature Plants, 2015
Arabidopsis thaliana UVR8 (AtUVR8) is a long-sought-after photoreceptor that undergoes dimer dissociation in response to UV-B light. Crystallographic and mutational studies have identified two crucial tryptophan residues for UV-B responses in AtUVR8. However, the mechanism of UV-B perception and structural events leading up to dimer dissociation remain

Time‐Resolved Native Mass Spectrometry Reveals Reversible Light‐Driven Oligomerization of Arabidopsis Cryptochrome 1 and Its Antagonism by BIC1

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 21, 18 May 2026.
Time‐resolved native mass spectrometry uncovers the blue‐light‐dependent kinetic mechanism of Arabidopsis CRY1 oligomerization, proceeding sequentially from monomers to dimers and tetramers. ATP promotes assembly, whereas BIC1 actively blocks and disassembles tetramers independent of light, providing mechanistic insight into the regulation of ...

The Role of Histone Modifications in Plant Priming and Their Analysis by Chromatin Immunoprecipitation

open access: yesPhysiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants are frequently exposed to adverse conditions. Priming, also known as acclimation or hardening, induces stress memory and prepares plants for future challenges by activating defense and protective mechanisms. For this reason, priming is an effective means to maintain plant yield in the face of climate change. Memory behind the priming is

Jasmonate‐Activated AaWRKY9–AabHLH93/AabHLH93–AaMYB7 Complexes Balance Artemisinin Biosynthesis in Artemisia annua

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1533-1547, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Artemisinin, an antimalarial sesquiterpene lactone, is biosynthesized in glandular trichomes of Artemisia annua. Although numerous transcription factors have been demonstrated to regulate artemisinin biosynthesis, the molecular mechanisms underlying the high expression of artemisinin‐associated biosynthetic enzyme and transcription factor ...

Metabolite profiling and transcriptomic analyses reveal an essential role of UVR8-mediated signal transduction pathway in regulating flavonoid biosynthesis in tea plants (Camellia sinensis) in response to shading

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Tea is the most popular nonalcoholic beverage worldwide for its pleasant characteristics and healthful properties. Catechins, theanine and caffeine are the major natural products in tea buds and leaves that determine tea qualities such as ...

Traceless Regulation of Genetic Circuitry

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, 18 February 2026.
Energy‐based, as opposed to molecular, control offers unprecedented improvements in key circuit parameters. This review summarizes the fundamentals of such traceless switches, categorizes them by trigger modalities, and compares and contrasts distinct advantages as well as shortcomings of each kind.

C-terminal region of the UV-B photoreceptor UVR8 initiates signaling through interaction with the COP1 protein

open access: yes, 2012
UV-B light initiates photomorphogenic responses in plants. Arabidopsis UV RESISTANCE LOCUS8 (UVR8) specifically mediates these responses by functioning as a UV-B photoreceptor.

Bringing Light to Transcription: The Optogenetics Repertoire

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2018
The ability to manipulate expression of exogenous genes in particular regions of living organisms has profoundly transformed the way we study biomolecular processes involved in both normal development and disease.

Contrasting light demands determine the coordination of plants' non‐structural carbohydrates and economic strategy over the range of solar spectral composition

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 534-552, February 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Non‐structural carbohydrates (NSC) are critical mediators of plant adaptation to fluctuating light environments. They are tightly coordinated with plant economic strategy, that is, leaf economics spectrum (LES) and root economics spectrum (RES).

Subcellular localisation and functional analysis of UVR8, a UV-B specific signalling component in Arabidopsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
UV-B is an integral component of the daylight spectrum that regulates plant gene expression and development, but very little is known about how plants perceive UV-B.
