| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on the mechanisms and pathways involved in light signal transduction in plants, including the roles of photoreceptors such as phytochromes and cryptochromes, the regulation of plant development and growth by light, responses to UV-B radiation, and the application of optogenetics in studying plant signaling. Additionally, it explores the involvement of flavonoids and chloroplast movement in light-mediated processes. |
