Evidence Snippets
Algae utilize various light-sensitive proteins-including ... tetrapyrrole-based phytochromes ... to sense and integrate both light quality and quantity.
In plants and fungi the photoreceptive rhodopsins, light oxygen voltage proteins, phytochromes and cryptochromes sense changes in and facilitate the adaptation to the light environment.

Algae use multiple photoreceptor classes including phototropins, cryptochromes, aureochromes, BLUF proteins, rhodopsins, phytochromes, neochromes, and UV-B photoreceptors to sense and integrate light quality and quantity.
Algae use multiple photoreceptor classes including flavin-based receptors, rhodopsins, phytochromes, neochromes, and UV-B photoreceptors to sense and integrate light quality and quantity.

Algae utilize various light-sensitive proteins-including flavin-based receptors (phototropins, cryptochromes, aureochromes, BLUF proteins), retinal-based rhodopsins, tetrapyrrole-based phytochromes, hybrid neochromes, and UV-B photoreceptors - to sense and integrate both light quality and quantity.
In plants and fungi, photoreceptive rhodopsins, light oxygen voltage proteins, phytochromes, and cryptochromes sense changes in the light environment and facilitate adaptation to that environment.
Photoreceptors sense characteristics of light and trigger cellular signaling processes that control physiology, development, and behavior, enabling organisms to develop a sense of space and time.
