Direct Regulation of Phytohormone Actions by Photoreceptors

Plants must adjust their growth and development adaptively in response to light. Four recent studies have now established novel paradigms connecting light and hormone signaling pathways, in which photoreceptors adopt three modes to directly inhibit internal hormonal responses to external stimuli.
