Sunlight is essential for plants: Not only as an energy source but also as information for their growth cycle. Therfore they need receptors to detect different light wavelengts. Ultraviolet B (UVB) light can be perceived with photoreceptor UV resistance Locus 8 (UVR8) [1]. This UVR8 receptor derives drom Arapidopsis thaliana [2].
Usage and Biology
In the absecne of UVB light UVR8 forms homodimers. This is its closed configuration. When UVB light is perceived UVRB monomerizes and changes into its open configuration. Then its able to recruit COP1.
