Abstract excerpt
Phytochrome A (phyA), the only far-red light (FRL) photoreceptor, initiates photomorphogenesis under FRL. Autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved degradation pathway, facilitates plant adaptation to nutrient stress. Recent studies revealed that elongated hypocotyl 5 (HY5) undergoes autophagic degradation during carbon and nitrogen starvation, a process antagonized by cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) through its binding to...
