Plant responses to light are multiple. Light is an energy source, converted to sugars by photosynthesis. It is also a signal sensed by specific photoreceptors for red, blue and UV-B radiation ...
We take an integrative approach to synthesize the ecology, physiology, and anatomy of plants. A unifying theme of our studies is the question of how plants survive and thrive in their natural ...
Plants distribute many nutrients to chloroplasts during leaf development and maturation. When leaves senesce or experience sugar starvation, the autophagy machinery degrades chloroplast proteins to ...
