Vaishak, Premachandran Yadukrishnan, Souvika Bakshi, Amit Kumar Kushwaha, Harshil Ramachandran, Nikhil Job, Dion Babu, Sourav DattaAbstractPlant development is meticulously modulated by interactions between the surrounding environment and the endogenous phytohormones. Light, as an external signal coordinates with the extensive networks of hormones inside the plant to execute its effects on growth and development. Several proteins in plants have been identified for their crucial roles in mediating light regulated development. Among these are the B-box (BBX) family of transcription factors characterized by the presence of zinc-finger B-box domain in their N-terminal...
