PHYB: Understanding Its Role in Plant Growth, Adaptation, and Development

Phytochrome is predominantly found in plant leaves and consists of a protein with a bilin chromophore. It is present in most plants and even some bacteria, with a related bacterial version having a solved protein structure. Arabidopsis thaliana, a model plant, possesses genes for five phytochromes. Researchers are exploring whether these phytochromes serve unique or…
