Direct regulation of phytoene synthase gene expression and carotenoid biosynthesis by phytochrome-interacting factors

Carotenoids are key for plants to optimize carbon fixing using the energy of sunlight. They contribute to light harvesting but also channel energy away from chlorophylls to protect the photosynthetic apparatus from excess light. Phytochrome-mediated light signals are major cues regulating carotenoid...
