organisms. Some examples are rhodopsin in the photoreceptor cells of the vertebrate retina, phytochrome in plants, and bacteriorhodopsin and bacteriophytochromes...

circadian photoreceptor whereas CRY2 is a clock repressor which represses Clock/Cycle (Bmal1) complex in insects and vertebrates. In plants, blue-light...

the photoreceptors in a plant that are sensitive to light. Plant anatomy is the study of the structure of plant cells and tissues, whereas plant morphology...

reflected or transmitted by plants because of the absorbance spectrum of chlorophyll, and it is perceived by the plant photoreceptor phytochrome. However, some...

Phytochromes are a class of photoreceptor proteins found in plants, bacteria and fungi. They respond to light in the red and far-red regions of the visible...

specialized photoreceptors, which are chemical pigments capable of absorbing specific wavelengths of light. Plants use four kinds of photoreceptors: phytochrome...

sensing by adjacent plants. The photoreceptor-mediated shade avoidance response is a well-documented behavior in a variety of plant species. Neighbor detection...

and a long-day plant can flower if exposed to more red-light in the middle of the night. Cryptochromes are another type of photoreceptor that is important...

1986. During his postdoctoral training, Jones established that the plant photoreceptor, phytochrome A, is dimeric and he showed a minimal structural unit...

photoreception. In medical terminology, "photopigment" commonly refers to the photoreceptor proteins of the retina. Photosynthetic pigments convert light into biochemical...

genes. The underlying mechanism involves the progressive loss of rod photoreceptor cells that line the retina of the eyeball. The rod cells secrete a neuroprotective...

variety of photoreceptors are used by plants to detect light intensity, direction and duration. In response to excess light, some photoreceptors have the...

nature, composed of photoreceptors and areas of bright orange-red red pigment granules. Signals relayed from the eyespot photoreceptors result in alteration...

documented biological clocks in plants are the day and seasonal cycles which are usually established by photoreceptors. Once a plant has established a pattern...

conditions present under the canopy of angiosperms. Remarkably, the photoreceptor neochrome in the two orders Cyatheales and Polypodiales, integral to...

thaliana found that plants sense the Red to Far Red light ratio that enters the plant through photoreceptors known as phytochromes. Nearby plant leaves will absorb...

mammalian eye are a separate class of light-detecting cells from the photoreceptor cells that function in vision. Sensitivity of the skin to a light source...

intracellular messengers responsible for the mediation of responses in retinal photoreceptors. Before their discovery, it was thought that cyclic nucleotides played...
