Summary

Nutrition label

90% Informative

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf have described a previously unknown mechanism in the perception of light and heat in plants.

Plants can perceive light via so-called phytochromes and use these pigments to trigger vital reactions such as growth.

The results contribute to a better understanding of plant physiological processes.
