The occurrence of phytochrome-mediated high-irradiance responses (HIR), previously characterised largely in dicotyledonous plants, was investigated in Triticum aestivum L., Zea mays L., Lolium ...

Phytochromes are integral light-sensitive proteins that govern a range of developmental processes in plants by detecting red and far‐red light. These photoreceptors oscillate between inactive (Pr) and ...

A tour de force of X-ray scattering has yielded structures of a phytochrome photoreceptor in its dark and illuminated states, showing how localized protein refolding magnifies a light signal to form a ...

Black rot disease in cabbages, radishes and related cruciferous crops may have disastrous consequences for the yield and production of marketable plants. The bacterium Xanthomonas campestris is the ...
