Diatom phytochromes integrate the underwater light spectrum to sense depth
Briefly

The research highlights that marine algae and land plants share conserved phytochrome signaling systems, suggesting a deep evolutionary connection in light sensing mechanisms across different environments.
Study findings indicate that diatom phytochromes are capable of far-red light sensing, revealing a previously unexplored dimension in the light-response capacities of oceanic ecosystems.
