Connecting the dots: How light receptors get their message across

For a plant, light is life. It drives everything from photosynthesis to growth and reproduction. Yet the chain of molecular events that enables light signals to control gene activity and ultimately a plant's architecture had remained in the dark. Now a team of researchers has identified the courier that gives the signal to revamp the plant's gene expression pattern after photoreceptors have been activated by light.
