The basic/helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins are a superfamily of transcription factors that bind as dimers to specific DNA target sites and that have been well characterized in nonplant eukaryotes as… Expand
PIFs: pivotal components in a cellular signaling hub.
A small subset of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors called PIFs (phytochrome-interacting factors) act to repress seed germination, promote seedling skotomorphogenesis and promote… Expand
A draft sequence of the rice genome (Oryza sativa L. ssp. japonica).
The genome of the japonica subspecies of rice, an important cereal and model monocot, was sequenced and assembled by whole-genome shotgun sequencing. The assembled sequence covers 93% of the… Expand

Following light-induced nuclear translocation, specific members of the phytochrome (phy) photoreceptor family (phyA to phyE) interact with bHLH transcription factors, such as PIF3, and induce changes… Expand
PIF4, a phytochrome‐interacting bHLH factor, functions as a negative regulator of phytochrome B signaling in Arabidopsis
Plants sense and respond to red and far‐red light using the phytochrome (phy) family of photoreceptors. However, the mechanism of light signal transduction is not well defined. Here, we report the… Expand
