Phytochromes help seeds interpret red and far-red light and regulate the transition from dormancy to germination. Discover how phytochrome signaling interacts with PIF1, abscisic acid, gibberellins, temperature, and environmental conditions to control seed germination.
A scientific plant-signaling illustration showing a phytochrome receiving red and far-red light, interacting with PIF transcription factors, and connecting to auxin, gibberellin, and brassinosteroid pathways that regulate plant growth.
The red-to-far-red ratio is an important light signal that helps plants detect neighboring vegetation. Discover how phytochromes and PIF transcription factors translate changes in red and far-red light into changes in growth, shade avoidance, germination, flowering, and plant development.
Shade avoidance is a light-regulated plant response triggered by changes in red and far-red light caused by neighboring vegetation. Discover how phytochromes, PIF transcription factors, plant hormones, and other signaling pathways regulate elongation, branching, flowering, and plant architecture.
Plant photoreceptors allow plants to sense different wavelengths of light and translate environmental information into developmental responses. Learn how phytochromes, cryptochromes, phototropins, and UVR8 regulate plant growth and development.
Light is one of the fundamental phenomena of nature. Discover how light works through optics, electromagnetism, quantum physics, relativity, lasers, fiber optics, spectroscopy, and astronomy.
