Regulation of plant phototropic growth by NPH3/RPT2-like substrate phosphorylation and 14-3-3 binding

Polarity underlies all directional growth responses in plants including growth towards the light (phototropism). The plasma-membrane associated protein, NON-PHOTOTROPIC HYPOCOTYL 3 (NPH3) is a key determinant of phototropic growth which is regulated by phototropin (phot) AGC kinases. Here we demo…
