Abstract

Plants continuously monitor fluctuations in their environment and actively adjust their metabolism to cope with variations in light and carbon resource availability. However, the links between photoreceptor signaling pathways and central metabolism are poorly understood. Emerging evidence suggests that phytochrome photoreceptor signaling and carbon resource management are strongly coupled. In this review, we outline the current understanding of how phytochromedependent light signaling interfaces with metabolism and carbon resource management.
