The overall function of PIFs in light-regulated gene expression might be an ancient property of PIFs.
Quoted textsource-backed
Thus, the overall function of PIFs in light-regulated gene expression might be an ancient property of PIFs.
Expression of potential PIF direct target genes was generally reduced in Physcomitrella pif mutants compared to wildtype.

The expression of these genes was generally reduced in pif mutants compared to the wildtype
Expression of the examined genes was strongly repressed in continuous light, and pif mutants showed partial downregulation of these genes in the dark.

For several genes, relative induction after a short light treatment was higher in pif mutants than in wildtype.

Physcomitrella patens PIFs activate G-box-containing promoters in a G-box-dependent manner.

Here, we show that Physcomitrella PIFs activate these promoters in a G-box-dependent manner
