CRYPTOCHROME-INTERACTING basic helix-loop-helix 1 (CIB1) is a well characterized transcriptional factor which promotes flowering through the physical interaction with the blue light receptor CRYPTOCHROME 2 (CRY2) in Arabidopsis. However, the role of its counterpart in crop species remains largely
Cryptochromes are blue light receptors that regulate light responses in plants, including various crops. The molecular mechanism of plant cryptochromes has been extensively investigated in Arabidopsis thaliana, but it has not been reported in any crop species. Here, we report a study of the
Photoperiodic control of flowering time is believed to affect latitudinal distribution of plants. The blue light receptor CRY2 regulates photoperiodic flowering in the experimental model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. However, it is unclear whether genetic variations affecting cryptochrome activity or
Phytochrome-interacting factor 4 (PIF4) participates in light signaling by interacting with photoreceptors, phytochromes, and cryptochromes. Although well characterized in Arabidopsis, PIF4's role in crop plants is unknown. Here we performed the first integrated genomics, transcriptomics, and
