Abstract
Phytochrome-interacting factors (PIFs) integrate environmental cues with phytohormone networks in plants.
- PIFs play a critical role in coordinating interactions among various phytohormones, including auxin and gibberellins.
- They regulate plant growth and development through direct interactions with key components of phytohormone pathways.
- PIFs are involved in essential developmental processes such as seed germination and photomorphogenesis.
- These factors also contribute to plant resilience against environmental stresses.
- Functional diversification of PIFs across species may reflect adaptations to different ecological conditions.
