Orthogonal regulation of phytochrome B abundance by stress-specific plastidial retrograde signaling metabolite

MEcPP is an evolutionarily conserved metabolite that acts as a plastid-to-nucleus retrograde signal to regulate adaptive responses to fluctuating light. Here the authors show that MEcPP regulates seedling development by stabilizing the phyB photoreceptor in an auxin and Ca2+ dependent manner.
