Plants depend on light signals to modulate many aspects of their development and optimize their photosynthetic capacity. Phytochromes (phys), a family of photoreceptors, initiate a signal transduction pathway that alters expression of a large number of genes to induce these responses. Recently, phyA and phyB were shown to bind members of a basic helix-loop-helix family of transcription factors called phy-interacting factors (PIFs). PIF1 negatively regulates chlorophyll biosynthesis and seed germ ...[more]
