Both subunits of the dimeric plant photoreceptor phytochrome require chromophore for stability of the far-red light-absorbing form.
The dimeric plant photoreceptor phytochrome is converted from its inactive red light-absorbing form (Pr) into the active far-red light-absorbing form (Pfr) upon light absorption. Dynamics of Pfr generation and of thermal Pfr-to-Pr conversion are of fundamental importance for inducing adequate responses to light signals. Here, we analyzed the role of subunit interactions on spectroscopic propert...
متن کاملPhotosensing Fungi: Phytochrome in the Spotlight
Red light triggers asexual development and represses sexual development in the fungus Aspergillus nidulans. This response has been shown to require a phytochrome red/far-red light photoreceptor, FphA, which is cytoplasmic and binds a tetrapyrrole chromophore. FphA exhibits similarities to both plant and bacterial phytochromes.
متن کاملPhytochrome A enhances the promotion of hypocotyl growth caused by reductions in levels of phytochrome B in its far-red-light-absorbing form in light-grown Arabidopsis thaliana.
We sought to determine if phytochrome B (phyB)-mediated responses to the red light (R)/far-red light (FR) ratio are affected by phytochrome A (phyA) activity in light-grown seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana. Pulses of FR delayed into the dark period were less effective than end-of-day (EOD) FR in promoting hypocotyl growth over a given period in darkness. White light minus blue light interposed...
متن کاملMapping light-driven conformational changes within the photosensory module of plant phytochrome B
Organisms developed different photoreceptors to be able to adapt to changing environmental light conditions. Phytochromes are red/far-red (r/fr) photochromic photoreceptors that belong to the classical photoreceptors along with cryptochromes and phototropins. They convert absorbed light into a biological signal by switching between two states in a light-dependent manner therefore enabling the l...

ساموئل بکت بیشتر از هر نویسنده دیگری در نیم? دوم قرن بیستم با گفتارش زمان? ما را به آستان? از هم پاشیدگی کشانده است، آستانه ای که در آن مدرنیته با سرانجام گریزان اما غیرقابل اجتناب خود مواجه می شود. در این تحقیق روی مفهوم فردیت و محو آن در دوران پسامدرن تاکید شده و در طی آن سعی شده است که فردیت مدرن و پسامدرن در رمان های سه گانه بکت بررسی گردد. تحقیق حاضر یک بررسی کتابخانه ای و کیفی بر روی سه ر...
