Blue light activates a specific protein kinase in higher plants.
Blue light mediates the phosphorylation of a membrane protein in seedlings from several plant species. When crude microsomal membrane proteins from dark-grown pea (Pisum sativum L.), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.), Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana L.), or tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) stem segments, or from maize (Zea mays L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.),...
متن کاملSugar sensing in higher plants.
Sugar repression of photosynthetic genes is likely a central control mechanism mediating energy homeostasis in a wide range of algae and higher plants. It overrides light activation and is coupled to developmental and environmental regulations. How sugar signals are sensed and transduced to the nucleus remains unclear. To elucidate sugar-sensing mechanisms, we monitored the effects of a variety...
متن کاملLight perception and signalling in higher plants.
Plants monitor changes in the ambient light environment using sensory photoreceptor families: the phototropins and cryptochromes, which absorb UV-A or blue light; the phytochromes, which sense red/far-red light; and the UV-B photoreceptors, which have not yet been identified. Recent advances suggest that photoreceptor-induced signalling cascades regulate light-modulated gene expression. These r...
متن کاملLight signal transduction in higher plants.
Plants utilize several families of photoreceptors to fine-tune growth and development over a large range of environmental conditions. The UV-A/blue light sensing phototropins mediate several light responses enabling optimization of photosynthetic yields. The initial event occurring upon photon capture is a conformational change of the photoreceptor that activates its protein kinase activity. Th...
متن کاملPrimer Red light sensing in plants
Introduction Plants depend on light as their sole source of energy. Consequently, plants will achieve optimal fitness only if they are also able to coordinate their growth and metabolism with their light environment. To enable this coordination, plants have developed a series of photoreceptors that allow them to sense light from the UV-B to the near far-red. The red to near farred region of the...
