Understanding the Impact of Phytochrome B (PHYB) on Plant Life Cycle
Phytochrome is predominantly found in plant leaves and consists of a protein with a bilin chromophore. It’s 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 overlapping…
