This special issue of JIPB aims to summarize current knowledge and publish the cutting-edge research on plant photobiology. This includes (but not limited to) phytochrome-, cryptochrome-, phototropin-, UVR8-, and circadian clock-mediated signaling pathways, and the interactions between light and other signals such as temperature, hormones, biotic and abiotic stresses, etc. We especially welcome the papers on these topics from crop studies. Articles include original research papers, breakthrough reports, and invitation-only reviews. All papers will be initially evaluated by the issue editors, and the potential manuscripts will be sent out for peer-review in accordance with standard journal procedures.
