NCP activates chloroplast transcription by controlling phytochrome-dependent dual nuclear and plastidial switches

Phytochrome signaling in the nucleus can activate expression of photosynthesis-associated genes in plastids. Here Yang et al. show that NCP is a dual-targeted protein that promotes phytochrome B localization to photobodies in the nucleus while facilitating PEP polymerase assembly in the plastids.
