Abstract

In this issue of Developmental Cell, Cho et al. (2012) uncover the mechanisms linking the light-regulated trigger and hormone-mediated induction of seed germination in Arabidopsis. When phytochrome B is activated by red light, seed germination is promoted by epigenetic transcriptional activation of gibberellic acid biosynthetic enzymes via histone demethylation.
