Our review on nucleus-to-plastid phytochrome signaling has been published in Annu Plant Rev. Congrats Chan Yul and Soeun!
The biogenesis of photosynthetically active chloroplasts in flowering plants (angiosperms) is initiated by light through the red and far‐red photoreceptors, phytochromes, which activate photosynthesis‐associated genes encoded by both the nuclear and plastid genomes. Because photoactivated phytochromes localize to the nucleus but not the plastids, phytochromes ought to control plastid transcription through nucleus‐to‐plastid or anterograde signalling. However, [...]
