Description (abstract)

How do uvr8, cryptochromes and phototropins cooperate in the real world to acquire the information plants use for acclimation? How do plants manage to perceive changes in solar UVB irradiance that meterologists and geophysicists can measure precisely only with sophisticated instruments needing frequent calibration?
