The phytochrome interacting proteins ERF55 and ERF58 repress light-induced seed germination in Arabidopsis thaliana

Phytochromes regulate light-dependent seed germination in plants. Here the authors show that light-activated phytochromes bind two ERF transcriptional regulators and repress their activity to allow completion of germination.
