The capability to detect the amount and quality of light is critical for plant growth and development. Red and far-red light are detected by the phytochrome (phy) photoreceptors which mediate plant behavior1. The flowering ...

Plants and algae use phytochrome (phy) receptors to detect red and far-red light. Changes in phy activity mediate a variety of developmental responses. The model flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana encodes five phys in ...

Genetic testing involves examining a patient's DNA sequence to look for changes (mutations) in the DNA that can potentially cause disease or illness. While some of the changes are benign, many have not yet been characterized ...
