Skotomorphogenesis: the dark side of light signalling

Eve-Marie Josse, Karen J Halliday

Research output: Contribution to journalEditorialpeer-review

Abstract

The ability to switch from skotomorphogenic to photomorphogenic development is essential for seedling survival. Central to this mechanism are the phytochrome interacting factors that are important for maintaining the skotomorphogenic state and regulating the switch to photomorphogenesis.
