Article Synopsis
- UV-B radiation is crucial for plant growth and development, activating specific and nonspecific response pathways.
- The UVR8 receptor, initially inactive as a dimer, becomes active upon UV-B exposure, interacting with COP1 to prevent degradation of the transcription factor HY5, thereby triggering photomorphogenic responses.
- While much is known about UVR8 in Arabidopsis, this study highlights differences in UV-B responses across species, noting that UVR8’s role extends beyond UV-B reactions to other developmental and stress responses.
