Deskripsi

Phytochromes regulate plant responses to environmental light conditions but despite extensive research the initial events in phytochrome signaling remain uncertain. Here, Shin et al. provide evidence that phytochrome phosphorylates target proteins via kinase activity in the N-terminal core domain.
