Our report on a direct transcriptional repression mechanism by the photoreceptor phytochrome B has been published in Nature Communications. Congrats to all authors, particularly Chan Yu, Jiangman, and Qing!
The Arabidopsis red and far-red photoreceptor phytochrome B is known to regulate gene expression indirectly by modulating the abundance of a family of basic helix-loo-helix transcriptional regulators called PHYTOCHROME-INTERACTING FACTORs (PIFs). In this study published in Nature Communications, we report a new plant light signaling mechanism, in which phytochrome B controls light-responsive genes via direct [...]

Our new paper on temperature signaling is featured in Editor’s Highlights at Nature Communications
Our new research article entitled "RCB initiates Arabidopsis thermomorphogenesis by stabilizing the thermoregulator PIF4 in the daytime" has been published in Nature Communications. This study identifies RCB (REGULATOR OF CHLOROPLAST BIOGENESIS) as a new essential component of temperature signaling in Arabidopsis. We show that RCB interacts directly with HEMERA, another temperature signaling component identified by [...]
