Yongjian and Elise report a new phytochrome signaling mechanism in Nature Communications
Yongjian Qiu and Elise Pasoreck published their recent work on phytochrome signaling in Nature Communications. This article reports a new light signaling mechanism that Arabidopsis phytochrome B utilizes its C-terminal domain as a signaling output module to mediate a central light signaling event - the degradation of the nodal transcription factor PIF3. This project was initiated when [...]

M. Chen lab hosts a 2017 CEPCEB REU student, Ngoc (Iris) Tran.
M. Chen lab will host another summer CEPCEB REU student - Ngoc (Iris) Tran. This is the second year that we participate in the NSF-funded summer undergraduate research program in the Center for Plant Cell Biology at UCR. Iris will work with Dr. Keunhwa Kim, a senior scientist, to characterize the mechanism of subcellular protein sorting in [...]
