Abstract

Although it is well known that plants respond to UV-B light, how UV-B regulates plant growth and development in an organ-specific manner remains unknown. Two recent reports by Yang et al. and Qian et al. show that the UV-B photoreceptor UVR8 interacts with different MYB transcription factors in arabidopsis (A. thaliana) cotyledons and roots to control cotyledon expansion and lateral root growth, respectively.

Keywords: MYB13; MYB73; MYB77; UV-B; UVR8.
