Multiple Phytochrome-Interacting bHLH Transcription Factors Repress Premature Seedling Photomorphogenesis in Darkness
Pablo Leivar,Elena Monte,Elena Monte,Elena Monte,Yoshito Oka,Yoshito Oka,Tiffany L. Liu,Tiffany L. Liu,Christine Carle,Christine Carle,Alicia Castillon,Enamul Huq,Peter H. Quail,Peter H. Quail +13 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that bHLH transcription factors PIF1, Pif3, PIF4, and PIF5 act as constitutive repressors of photomorphogenesis in the dark, action that is rapidly abrogated upon light exposure by phy-induced proteolytic degradation of these PIFs, allowing the initiation of photomorphicogenesis to occur.

PIFs: systems integrators in plant development
Pablo Leivar,Elena Monte +1 more
TL;DR: Progress in the understanding of the transcriptional and posttranslational regulation of PIFs is discussed that illustrates the integration of light with hormonal pathways and the circadian clock, and seedling hypocotyl growth is reviewed as a paradigm of Pifs acting at the interface of these signals.
The Arabidopsis phytochrome-interacting factor PIF7, together with PIF3 and PIF4, regulates responses to prolonged red light by modulating phyB levels.

TL;DR: The role of these phyB-interacting bHLH factors in modulating seedling deetiolation in prolonged red light may not be as phy-activated signaling intermediates, as proposed previously, but as direct modulators of the abundance of the photoreceptor.

Dynamic Antagonism between Phytochromes and PIF Family Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Factors Induces Selective Reciprocal Responses to Light and Shade in a Rapidly Responsive Transcriptional Network in Arabidopsis
Pablo Leivar,Pablo Leivar,Pablo Leivar,James M. Tepperman,James M. Tepperman,Megan Cohn,Megan Cohn,Elena Monte,Bassem Al-Sady,Bassem Al-Sady,Erika Erickson,Erika Erickson,Peter H. Quail,Peter H. Quail +13 more
TL;DR: A core set of transcriptional and hormonal processes that appear to be dynamically poised to react rapidly to light-environment changes via perturbations in the mutually antagonistic actions of the phys and PIFs are defined.

Isolation and Characterization of phyC Mutants in Arabidopsis Reveals Complex Crosstalk between Phytochrome Signaling Pathways
Elena Monte,Jose M. Alonso,Joseph R. Ecker,Yuelin Zhang,Xin Li,Jeff C. Young,Sandra Austin-Phillips,Peter H. Quail +7 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that phyC is involved in photomorphogenesis throughout the life cycle of the plant, with a photosensory specificity similar to that ofphyB/D/E and with a complex pattern of differential crosstalk with phyA and phyB in the photoregulation of multiple developmental processes.
