Cyanobacteria are unique among bacteria in performing oxygenic photosynthesis, often
together with nitrogen fixation and, thus, are major primary producers in many ecosystems. The …

Phytochromes are dimeric proteins that function as red and far-red light sensors influencing
nearly every phase of the plant life cycle. Of the three major phytochrome families found in …

Phytochromes are well-known as photoactive red- and near IR-absorbing chromoproteins
with cysteine-linked linear tetrapyrrole (bilin) prosthetic groups. Phytochrome photoswitching …

Plant phytochromes are photoswitchable red/far-red photoreceptors that allow competition
with neighboring plants for photosynthetically active red light. In aquatic environments, red …

Phytochromes are red/far-red photoreceptors using cysteine-linked linear tetrapyrrole (bilin)
chromophores to regulate biological responses to light. Light absorption triggers …

Phytochromes are red/far-red photosensory proteins that regulate adaptive responses to light
via photoswitching of cysteine-linked linear tetrapyrrole (bilin) chromophores. The related …

Phytochromes are a widespread family of photosensory proteins first discovered in plants,
which measure the ratio of red to far-red light to control many aspects of growth and …

Phytochrome photosensors control a vast gene network in streptophyte plants, acting as
master regulators of diverse growth and developmental processes throughout the life cycle. In …

The maintenance of functional chloroplasts in photosynthetic eukaryotes requires real-time
coordination of the nuclear and plastid genomes. Tetrapyrroles play a significant role in …

Cyanobacteriochromes (CBCRs) are photosensory proteins related to the red/far-red
phytochromes. Like phytochromes, CBCRs use linear tetrapyrrole (bilin) chromophores covalently …
