Cryptochromes are photolyase-like photoreceptors. <i>Arabidopsis</i> CRY2 (cryptochrome 2) primarily mediates the photoperiodic regulation of floral initiation. CRY2 has been shown to promote <i>FT (FLOWERING LOCUS T)</i> mRNA expression in response to blue light by suppressing the degradation of the CO (CONSTANS) protein and activating CIB1 (CRY2-interacting bHLH1). Although CIB1 and CO are both transcriptional activators of <i>FT</i>, their relationship is unknown. Here, we show that CIB1 phys ...[more]
