This study investigates photoreceptor's role in the adaption of photosynthetic apparatus to high light (HL) intensity by examining the response of tomato wild type (WT) (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Moneymaker) and tomato mutants (phyA, phyB1, phyB2, cry1) plants to HL. Our results showed a photoreceptor-dependent effect of HL on the maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (F/F) with phyB1 exhibiting a decrease, while phyB2 exhibiting an increase in F/F. HL resulted in an increase in the efficient quantum yield of photosystem II (Φ) and a decrease in the non-photochemical quantum yields (Φ and Φ) solely in phyA. Under HL, phyA showed a significant decrease in the energy-dependent quenching component of NPQ (q), while phyB2 mutants showed an increase in the state transition (q) component. Furthermore, ΔΔF/F revealed that PHYB1 compensates for the deficit of PHYA in phyA mutants. PHYA signaling likely emerges as the dominant effector of PHYB1 and PHYB2 signaling within the HL-induced signaling network. In addition, PHYB1 compensates for the role of CRY1 in regulating F/F in cry1 mutants. Overall, the results of this research provide valuable insights into the unique role of each photoreceptor and their interplay in balancing photon energy and photoprotection under HL condition.

Soil cadmium (Cd) pollution has emerged as a substantial environmental challenge globally, hampering crop production and endangering human health. Here, we found that photoreceptor phytochromes (PHYs) were involved in regulating Cd tolerance in tobacco. Compared to wildtype (WT) plants, phytochrome-defective mutants (phyA, phyB, phyAB) displayed Cd sensitive phenotype, and had a higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and malondialdehyde content.

Light and DELLA proteins are central factors controlling seed germination which is critical for seed plant survival and agricultural production. However, the mechanisms underlying DELLA degradation under different light conditions during seed germination remain to be clarified. Here, it is reported that TIE1-ASSOCIATED RING-TYPE E3 LIGASE4 (TEAR4) and other TEARs redundantly promote DELLA degradation to positively regulate seed germination in Arabidopsis.

A dynamic proteome is required for cellular adaption to changing environments including levels of O, and the SKP1/CULLIN-1/F-box protein/RBX1 (SCF) family of E3 ubiquitin ligases contributes importantly to proteasome-mediated degradation. We examine, in the apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, the influence on the interactome of SKP1 by its novel glycan attached to hydroxyproline generated by PHYa, the likely ortholog of the HIFα PHD2 oxygen-sensor of human host cells. Strikingly, the representation of several putative F-box proteins (FBPs) is substantially reduced in PHYaΔ parasites grown in fibroblasts.

In plant species, anthocyanin accumulation is specifically regulated by light signaling. Although the CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC1/SUPPRESSOR OF PHYA-105 (COP1/SPA) complex is known to control anthocyanin biosynthesis in response to light, the precise mechanism underlying this process remains largely unknown. Here, we report that Increase in BONSAI Methylation 1 (IBM1), a JmjC domain-containing histone demethylase, participates in the regulation of light-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis.

Light triggers an enhancement of global translation during photomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis, but little is known about the underlying mechanisms. The phosphorylation of the α-subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2α) at a conserved serine residue in the N-terminus has been shown as an important mechanism for the regulation of protein synthesis in mammalian and yeast cells. However, whether the phosphorylation of this residue in plant eIF2α plays a role in regulation of translation remains elusive.
