Robustness and evolvability in the functional anatomy of a PER-ARNT-SIM (PAS) domain (2010, background): “Cofactors at the active sites of PAS domains including p-coumaric acid (pCA) in photoactive yellow protein (PYP), heme in the oxygen sensor FixL, and flavin in LOV photoreceptors, but some function in the absence of cofactors.”
From the Cover: Retrograde bilin signaling enables Chlamydomonas greening and phototrophic survival (2013, neutral): “(4) (3) (35) (8) 4A+ WT Dark (+BV/-BV) 76”
Ecological effects of artificial light at night on wild plants (2016, background): “blue light (Christie 2007); and phytochrome primarily to red and/or far-red light, depending on the form (Casal, Candia & Sellaro 2014).”
Ferns in an Angiosperm World: Cretaceous Radiation into the Epiphytic Niche and Diversification on the Forest Floor (2012, background): “In derived plant lineages, blue light is the primary mechanism driving chloroplast movement, and this movement is largely driven by phototropin photoreceptors (Christie 2007).”
Light-regulated plant growth and development. (2010, background): “The phototropins also play an important role during this phase of develop ment because once emerging from the soil the seedling might have to direct its growth toward a more favorable place (with better light) (Christie, 2007).”
