U niversity of Wisconsin–Madison researchers have discovered where an important photoreceptor acts within plant stems, and the finding could help growers improve the success rate of crops like ...

The modification of growth pattern to avoid shading by competing neighbors (shade-avoidance reaction) is one such response. Characterized for more than 20 years, it is a function of phytochrome, a key ...

How they do so is now being elucidated. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes detect light waves corresponding to red, green, and blue, while dimness or brightness is detected by ...

His specific focus is on plant photobiology, specifically how photoreceptor systems and signalling networks regulate plant developmental characteristics and physiological responses, especially those ...
