Signaling mechanisms of higher plant photoreceptors: a structure-function perspective
Abstract
Higher plants monitor changes in the ambient light environment using three major classes of photoreceptors: the red/far-red-absorbing phytochromes, the blue/UV-A-absorbing cryptochromes, and phototropins. These photoreceptors mediate various photoresponses, ranging from seed germination, to seedling de-etiolation, stem elongation, leaf expansion, floral initiation, phototropic bending of organs, intracellular movement of chloroplast, and stomata opening. Here I briefly review the distinct and overlapping physiological functions of these photoreceptors and highlight recent progress that provided significant insights into their signaling mechanisms, particularly from a structure-function perspective. This review focuses on the early photochemical and biochemical events that lead to photoreceptor activation and signaling initiation.
