From: Physicochemical modeling of the phytochrome-mediated photothermal sensing
The phytochromes are versatile photothermal receptors that are capable of responding to changes in R:FR and R:IR ratios. (a) Physicochemical modeling for the photothermal conversion of the phytochromes. (b) Perception of R:FR and R:IR ratios during photothermal morphogenesis. The phytochromes sense environmental temperatures in the form of IR thermal radiation in a similar physicochemical process as they do R and FR during photomorphogenesis. The X-axis is represented in a logarithmic scale.
